As this memoir reveals, American politics has been stalked by a relentless "posse" of conservatives during the thirty years since the Republican presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater in 1964. In November, 1994 this posse finally gunned down an aging political establishment, giving rise in the media and elsewhere to the question, "Who ARE those guys?" In this memoir, Clif White answers that question, revealing the principles and people of the conservative movement in politics. In addition to telling fifty years of American political history and giving practical lessons for running for public office, his book is also a moving account of White's spiritual journey through an event-filled life. Clif White burst onto the national scene as the architect of the Goldwater nomination - the "sheriff" of that first conservative posse. His fascinating life story began in teaching and service in World War II, but soon turned to politics under Governor Tom Dewey of New York. After his team of conservatives took control of the national Republican Party in 1964, he next followed with the spectacular 1970 upset victory of James Buckley for the U.S. Senate in New York on a third party line, and then helped elect Ronald Reagan in 1980 - using the political team he had taught and nurtured since the capture of the GOP in 1964.

This book was an unauthorized attempt to chronicle Trump's life. The author met many roadblocks in writing this book. I thought that this book would be a hatchet job and a fairly negative look at Trump. However, Tuccille admits where there is a conflict and I felt did a very good job writing about Trump, his family, and business. Despite the fact that Tuccille only got one chance to talk with those close to Trump there is are many interesting details. Interestingly, Trump's book The Art of the Deal, seems to be an answer to this book.

This edition of It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand contains much of the text that appeared in the original edition—revised and edited to conform to modern style—plus new chapters dealing with events that took place after the book was first published. Some of the new material deals with my campaign for Governor of New York as the Free Libertarian Party candidate, a discussion of events that transpired on the American political scene after that benighted campaign, plus thoughts on my current political and spiritual leanings. The perennial success of It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand has startled no one more than me. Sales started slowly, then began to pick up over the years, until the book became an underground classic that has gained readership over the decades. It should be read as political memoir, a first-hand account of a political movement, mostly fact, but with fictional elements and hyperbole added for effect. A reviewer once said that most memoirs are neither fact nor fiction; they are the truth as the author remembers it. So it is with It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand.

All of us feel stuck with a political drift which virtually none of us likes-toward a bureaucratized society chronically at war. We cannot break out of this impasse without breaking out of our old mental habits about Left, Right, Between. The meanings such words have are mainly those assigned to them by the experience of 19th century Europe, and our different experience requires a different political language. Tucille's book is important because it helps make this new language more possible.
