About the Book In an astute and surprising history of the 1960s as the cradle of the conservative movement, Perlstein's gutsy narrative history profiles the rise of Barry Goldwater, the rich, handsome Arizona Republican who scorned the federal bureaucracy and despised liberals on sight.16 pp. of photos.

At the heart of the story is Barry Goldwater, the renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed federal government, despised liberals, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR.

[Before the Storm] one of the most stylish, riveting achievements in narrative history to appear in years . . . An exciting volume, an outstanding debut. It goes beyond conservatism. It ups the ante on what popular history can, and should, do."--Mark Greif, "The Village Voice" About the Author Rick Perlstein is the bestselling author of The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan and Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America.

Gaining commercial success in the 1940s, Mollie Parnis was an early American designer who was greatly revered for her chic yet conservative looks as well as one of the earliest American designers to sell her garments under her own label. Her success boomed in the 50s and 60s with her designs being donned by multiple First Ladies, and particularly adored by Lady Bird Johnson. Made in a sequins-covered, Kelly green lurex, this dress is presumable from the mid-1960s. From the mock neck, a smooth, close fit around the shoulders moves down into a slight flutter sleeve that adds an extra touch of diva to this dazzling dress. It is slightly fitted though the waist and gently falls from the hip to an ankle length hemline with controlled flounces. Although a simple silhouette, this vintage Mollie Parnis dress speaks volumes and is the perfect spotlight piece for a party or event. Size estimate: Small Shoulders: 16 inches Sleeves: 23.5 inches Bust: 34 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: 35 inches Length: 54 inches Unlined, this dress closes at the back with a centered zip and hooks-and-eyes at the neck.

This soft, yellow jersey knit sweater looks to be in excellent condition. No visible tags or markings. Mock turtleneck, short sleeves with ribbed edge. Practical and versatile, this sweater is a classic piece of vintage. The sweater is in great shape and the only visible flaw (as pictured above) is where someone restitched a section about 1.5" long on the shoulder. The feel of this piece is very soft, almost silky. Not a ton of information was able to be located on this jersey knit sweater. It's plain. It's simple. It's sweet as can be. Measurements: Armpit to armpit - 20.5" flat Waist - 16.5" flat (Measurements taken without any stretching) Pretty in pastel... this soft yellow sweater can be worn virtually year round in moderate climates.
