An ana
lysis of the election and the shifts in the GOP\, building on his book\,
E. J. Dionne\, Jr. employs his passio ns for people and politics and his keen intellect to deliver reasoned analy sis that is followed by a wide circle of policy-makers nationwide – on the left\, right and center. His latest book\, Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism–From Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond\, offers a historical view of the right sinc e the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Repu blican Party took a wrong turn when they adopted Barry Goldwater’s worldvie w during and after the 1964 campaign. Dionne began his now twice-wee kly op-ed column for The Washington Post in 1993\, and he now appears in mo re than 100 newspapers in the United States and abroad. Other books include Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith & Politics After the Religious Right\, Stand Up\, Fight Back: Republican Toughs\,Democratic Wimps\, and the Politics of Revenge\,and They Only Look Dead: Why Progre ssives Will Dominate The Next Political Era.
