Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Gang of Five, bestselling author Nina J. Easton reveals the hidden history of American politics in the last thirty years. It's the story of the other, less well-known segment of the baby-boom generation: young conservative activists who arrived on campus in the 1970s in rebellion against everything "sixties" and went on to overturn the political dynamics of our country. Gang of Five focuses on the lives and careers of five major figures. BILL KRISTOL, the Harvard-educated intellectual and Weekly Standard publisher RALPH REED, the hardball politico and strategist for the Christian right CLINT BOLICK, the constitutional lawyer and "bleeding heart" libertarian GROVER NORQUIST, the anti-tax activist and leader of the so-called vast right-wing conspiracy DAVID McINTOSH, the fresh-faced congressman and architect of the Right's war on regulation Gang of Five is a major contribution to contemporary history that explains how we arrived at the politics of today.
