About this ebook

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.
