How did America’s modern conservative movement come to power? Historian and author Rick Perlstein’s prolific work has traced the arc of modern electoral politics, and specifically has laid out how modern conservatism arose.

This is actually a very interesting author. I hate MSNBC, but this is a great interview with an eminent historian.
If you’ve got the time to leave over a thousand hate comments on MSNBC you have the time to listen to this at least.
Preferably read one of his books. Nixonland was fantastic and Reaganland looks amazing.
