Before the Storm is out of print and won't be back in a new edition until spring of 2009. As of April 23, 2008, you couldn't buy one for less than $149. I'm the author, and have sold several dozen of my personal copies for $25, but baby needs a new pair of shoes, so I will be auctioning off my last five copies to the highest bidder, and will inscribe them any way you like.
This study of Senator Barry Goldwater examines his defeat in 1964 and reads it as the beginning of the new conservative movement that was to eventually achieve its goals with the election of Ronald Reagan. Perlstein argues that Goldwater's stance on government's role in American life and his articulation of key issues established an agenda that influenced--and was even adopted by--both Republicans and Democrats. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

Industry reviews
"Perlstein is a gifted writer and a talented storyteller. His sweeping narrative amounts to nothing less than a social history of modern conservatism....All scholars trying to understand the rise of conservatism or to chart the decline of liberalism will need to grapple with this provocative book." Chicago Tribune Books - Steven M. Gillon (03/11/2001)
"One side of today's passions arose in the postwar conservative backlash to the then-prevailing New Deal liberal consensus. Rick Perlstein's BEFORE THE STORM is an engaging narrative of an important early salvo in the backlash, Barry Goldwater's 1964 nomination." Washington Post Book World - Stanley I. Kutler (03/18/2001)
`"BEFORE THE STORM is the story of such a fascinating era and Perlstein is such a great storyteller--one of the most enjoyable historians I've read--that I guaranteee for a while you will simply forget the dreariness of today's politics." Nation - Robert Sherrill (06/11/2001)
