Description

Review "An engrossing book. Highly recommended."--Choice "A vital addition to the literature on mid-twentieth-century conservatism, southern political change, and the growth of conservative media."--Journal of Southern History "Goes beyond the typical stereotypes of southern bigots to make Helm's footprint on the conservative movement large."--Journal of American History "Thrift has examined the nearly 3,000 Helms editorials broadcast between 1960 and 1972, showing just how prescient Helms was in combining traditional right-wing economics with racism and a defensive social conservatism that would underlie much of the new conservatism in southern and American politics."--American Historical Review "Demonstrates that Helms' true importance lies in his time at WRAL-TV. . . . An important book."--Southern Historian "Readers . . . will enjoy Thrift's compelling description of how Jesse Helms refined aspects of right-wing media so familiar today. . . . A concise, clear, and clever narrative."--Journal of American Studies "[A] well-researched account that demonstrates the key role that Jesse Helms and his "pious incitements" had on the making of southern conservativism and the Republican Party in the twentieth century."--New West Indian Guide'' Product Description Examines one of the most notorious figures of modern American politics: Jesse Helms. Thrift shows that Helms was not merely a right-wing demagogue, but rather a brilliant media mastermind who built a national movement from a little television soundstage in Raleigh. About the Author Bryan Hardin Thrift teaches history at Johnston Community College.
