Lee Edwards is the preeminent historian of the conservative movement. But as this riveting memoir makes clear, he has not simply observed conservatism as a detached scholar; he has been active on the national stage longer than any other conservative in America. Since committing his life to pro-freedom and anticommunist efforts as a young man in 1956, he has been present at nearly every major event of the modern conservative movement. In his tireless pursuit of liberty, Dr. Edwards has combined politics, policy, and philosophy. His memoir is full of colorful stories from a man who has done it all in a remarkable, multifaceted career. Just Right reveals: Edwards's insider account of Barry Goldwater's pivotal campaign, for which he ran national publicity Excerpts from his fifty-year-long correspondence with William F. Buckley Jr., revealing new aspects of WFB Why the New York Times dubbed Edwards "The Voice of the Silent Majority" How he put international communism on trial How he first interviewed Ronald Reagan when the actor was thinking of running for governor-and discovered that Reagan was a secret intellectual who read Hayek, Bastiat, and Chambers How he organized the largest public demonstration in support of our men in Vietnam, attracting some 25,000 people How he created the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, pushing against the federal bureaucracy for years Lee Edwards's memoir appears at a critical time in the history of American conservatism. In an inspiring final chapter aimed at the rising generation, Dr. Edwards shows how conservatives can remain a major political and philosophical force in America.
