Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign is treated in John H. Kessel, The Goldwater Coalition: Republican Strategies in 1964 (1968); Richard Rovere, The Goldwater Caper (1965); F. Clifton White, Suite 3505: The Story of the Draft Goldwater Movement (1967); and Theodore H. White, The Making of the President 1964 (1965). In addition, Goldwater wrote a number of books expressing his political credo, including The Conscience of a Conservative (1960), Why Not Victory? A Fresh Look at American Foreign Policy (1962), The Conscience of a Majority (1970), and The Coming Breakpoint (1976). Finally, a number of studies of the Republican Party in recent times give considerable attention to his political impact, including Michael W. Miles, The Odyssey of the American Right (1980) and David W. Reinhard, The Republican Right Since 1945 (1983). A lively interview in Jet describes Goldwater's ongoing independence July 24, 1995.
