Description
Donald T. Critchlow's The Conservative Ascendancy is a comprehensive analysis of the Republican Right's rise to power in modern America. This second edition, revised and expanded, offers a detailed account of the conservative movement's transformation from a fringe ideology to a dominant force in American politics. Critchlow explores how conservative beliefs were translated into political power, tracing the evolution of the party from its liberal eastern wing to its current form. He examines key moments, including the 1964 Goldwater debacle and the Reagan presidency, as well as the impact of George W. Bush's presidency on the party's partisanship. This updated edition features a new preface and conclusion, as well as an entirely new chapter covering recent developments in American politics, including the 2008 financial meltdown and the emergence of the Tea Party movement.
