About this title

Synopsis

A leader of the early American conservative movement, Congressman John M. Ashbrook was on the front lines of the Cold War in the 1960s and 1970s. He ran against Richard Nixon in the 1972 Republican primaries, then an unthinkable move against a popular president who had drifted to the left. But to Ashbrook, his run was a matter of principle. This book is a collection of Ashbrook's writings on the issues of the period, many of which still confront the nation. No Left Turns is a chronicle of the Cold War and a primer for conservatives in any period. Introduction: Jack Kemp. Foreword: Randy McNutt. Includes historic photos of Ashbrook and Republican figures of the era.

About the Author

The late John M. Ashbrook, a U.S. Congressman from Johnston, Ohio, gained an influence and respect that traveled far beyond his small hometown. In the late 1960s he helped found the American Conservative Union and he worked on the front lines in the battle against communism. Today he remains an icon among American conservatives. The Ashbrook Center at Ashland University in Ohio carries his name.
