The Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater

Goldwater wrote a best-selling book called The Conscience of a Conservative and it can be seen as basically the blueprint for Reagan-style conservatism, even Trumpism. He's kind of like the typhoid Mary of John Birch Society philosophy brings it into the mainstream cloaked in ethical conservatism or whatever the f**k. It'd be a great novelty book if it was just empty.
