Gifford examines the 1960 presidential election and the ways in which it represented a turning point for the Republican Party and conservatism. Focusing on the key Republican personalities involved - Nelson A. Rockefeller, Richard Nixon, and Barry Goldwater - she makes the case that up until this pivotal election there was a wide spectrum of politics within the Republican Party.
