"For a generation that had grown up with air raid drills and fall out shelters, Goldwater's call for personal sacrifice in taking the initiative against the dreaded communists, despite risk of provoking war, "had an almost Ghandian appeal" to the youth of the day, according to Perlstein. It was the same appeal "held by valiant Southern blacks laying their bodies on the line for the freedom to eat where they wished. Freedom was indivisible. It was worth dying for." In short, Perlstein makes the case that the appeal of the Goldwater campaign and conservative principles to young people in 1964 was rooted in the idealism of youth and the natural youthful antipathy toward the establishment."http://www.empirepage.com/bookreview/review11.html
