==Description of this popular volume==

The book was written in 1964, and created space within the Republican Party for the modern conservative movement that would more fully define itself by stopping the [[Equal Rights Amendment]] in the 1970s. The book helped secure the remarkable nomination of the firebrand [[Barry Goldwater]] for [[President of the United States]]. The book detailed how the [[liberal]] "Rockefeller Republican" wing of the Republican Party had manipulated the Republican Party's choice of nominees in prior national conventions to nominate people like [[Wendell Willkie]] and [[Dwight Eisenhower]], and called on conservatives to rally against the liberal wing and offer a true conservative for the nomination.  Hence, the title of the book. Millions of copies of this book were bought and distributed by supporters of Goldwater, making it one of the all-time best selling conservative political books in the United States.  The book helped launch the career of Phyllis Schlafly as a [[movement conservative]].

This book is also noteworthy for exposing the group of elite [[globalists]] who held secret annual meetings to try to exercise control over multiple countries, and this book coined the word the "DeBilderbergers" to describe them (later the Dutch name was shortened to the English "Bilderbergers").
