...universe of characters and personalities, including a bipolar LBJ and a young, liberal David Horowitz, but too often he goes off on long tangents, leaving Goldwater to simply make occasional appearances from his surreal airplane. After Goldwater’s rise to fame, we see very little of his inner thoughts, which is odd, considering that he is the book’s main character. Instead, we are treated to exquisite explorations of LBJ’s anxieties, Nixon’s cunning political ploys and the sadness of Goldwater’s loyal organizer, Clif White, when he returns...
