On the heels of his national bestseller Worse Than Watergate; John Dean takes a critical look at the current conservative movement In Conservatives Without Conscience; John Dean places the conservative movement's inner circle of leaders in the Republican Party under scrutiny. Dean finds their policies and mind- set to be fundamentally authoritarian; and as such; a danger to democracy. By examining the legacies of such old-line conservatives as J. Edgar Hoover; Spiro Agnew; and Phyllis Schlafly and of such current figures as Dick Cheney; Newt Gingrich; and leaders of the Religious Right; Dean presents an alarming record of abuses of power. His trenchant analysis of how conservatism has lost its bearings serves as a chilling warning and a stirring inspiration to safeguard constitutional principles.

Very long; but I got a better understanding of some of the reasons why UK citizens voted in favor of Brexit. In terms of money for value in reading material; this is a good investment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. AmazingBy Ninos YoukhanaThis is an amazing book.
