Investigating this fiercely pious community at a grassroots level, Darren Dochuk uses the stories of religious leaders, including Billy Graham, as well as many colorful, lesser-known figures to explain how evangelicals organized a powerful political machine. This machine made its mark with Barry Goldwater, inspired Richard Nixon's "Southern Solution," and achieved its greatest triumph with the victories of Ronald Reagan. Based on entirely new research, the manuscript has already won the prestigious Allan Nevins Prize from the Society of American Historians. The judges wrote, "Dochuk offers a rich and multidimensional perspective on the origins of one of the most far-ranging developments of the second half of the twentieth century: the rise of the New Right and modern conservatism"--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Christian conservatism $z California, Southern $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Evangelicalism $z California, Southern $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a California, Southern $x Church history $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 941 $a 3 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816045204.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013949.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160708010810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54CB033E44D111E68AA055D2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
