This review is from: Politics as a Noble Calling: The Memoirs of F. Clifton White (Hardcover)
If anyone could write of politics as a noble calling, it would be Cliff White (no relation to me). White first became active in politics in the 1940s working for his fellow New Yorker, Gov. Tom Dewey. White is best remembered for the stunning upset he engineered with a movement that drafted Barry Goldwater to run for President in 1964 and won the nomination for Goldwater over the self-financed campaign of Nelson Rockefeller. He later engineered James Buckley's 1970 Senate victory in New York, and he served in key roles in the campaigns of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. William F. Buckley rightly described him as "a genuine pioneer in the technologization of the democratic art."This book represent White's memoirs; and while it does tell us a great deal about White's life and his exploits in electoral politics, it also gives us a detailed account of the rise of the conservative movement over the last 50 years. Conservatives and liberals alike will appreciate the history lessons found throughout. The "behind-the-scenes" details of the presidential elections of the last half of this century are particularly interesting and insightful. All in all, this is a wonderful read about a man of character, dignity and ability who is sorely missed.
