NOTES

Lee Edwards has been an active player in the modern conservative movement longer than anyone else. As the Daily Caller noted in a recent profile, Edwards "has lived conservative history like none other." And he brings that history to life in Just Right. This memoir is full of colorful stories from a man who has done it all in a remarkable, multifaceted career. Just Right reveals: Edwards's inside account of Barry Goldwater's pivotal 1964 presidential campaign, for which he ran national publicity. How he wrote the first political biography of Ronald Reagan-and discovered early on that Reagan was a secret intellectual who read Hayek, Bastiat, and Whittaker Chambers. Why the New York Times dubbed Edwards "The 'Voice' of the Silent Majority" How he organized the largest public demonstration in support of our men in Vietnam How he created the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, pushing against the federal bureaucracy for two decades to make it happen. In an inspiring chapter aimed at the rising generation, Dr. Edwards shows how conservatives can remain a major political and philosophical force in America
