Association Copy of Kennedy's first book, INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the 
front endpaper by the author "To my old antagonist Senator 
Goldwater/from his friend/Bob Kennedy." Fine in a close to Fine dustwrapper.

Barry Goldwater, a five-term United States Senator from Arizona 
(1953–1965, 1969–1987) and the Republican Party's nominee for President 
in the 1964 election, is the politician most often credited for sparking 
the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 
1960s. His landslide defeat to Lyndon Johnson, which also brought down 
many other Republican candidates, opened the door for Johnson and a 
Congress dominated by Democrats to pass the Great Society programs. 
Goldwater returned to the Senate in 1969, but his role as a leader of 
the conservative movement had been transfered to Ronald Reagan. In 1974 
Goldwater successfully urged President Richard Nixon (whom he called 
"the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life") to resign at 
the height of the Watergate scandal. Goldwater retired in 1987 and was 
succeeded in office by John McCain. (#016460) $7,500.00
