Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus is a work of political history by Rick Perlstein that examines the rise of modern American conservatism through the career and 1964 presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater. Rather than treating Goldwater as an isolated political figure, the book places him inside the larger cultural and ideological conflicts of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Perlstein shows how a postwar liberal consensus, built around federal power, social reform, and managerial government, came under growing pressure from a new right-wing insurgency. Written as a deeply researched narrative history, the book blends biography, campaign history, and broader social context to explain how conservative politics moved from the margins toward national influence. It is especially useful for readers who want to understand the roots of later partisan division in the United States and the historical conditions that made Goldwater both a symbol and a catalyst of political change.
