Description: "In a relatively short span of time, because of the conservative movement's power, America has veered sharply to the right, so that now, compared with Europe or even American under Richard Nixon, we are a distinctly more conservative nation in many crucial respects no matter which party occupies the Oval Office. In The Right Nation, John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge examine the movement that accounts for how and why conservative positions have been so successfully advanced over such a broad front."--BOOK JACKET.
