 | Before the Storm by Rick Perlstein
This study of Senator Barry Goldwater examines his defeat in 1964 and reads it as the beginning of the new conservative movement that was to eventually achieve its goals with the election of Ronald Reagan. Perlstein argues that Goldwater's stance on government's role in American life and his articulation of key issues established an agenda that influenced--and was even adopted by--both Republicans and Democrats. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. AUTHOR: Rick Perlstein

 | Django Reinhardt by Charles Delaunay, Michael James
No European jazz musician has so enchanted the world as Django Reinhardt, the gypsy guitarist whose recordings with Stephane Grappelly and the Hot Club of France have meant 'The Thirties' to several generations of listeners, influencing musicians as far afield as Larry Coryell, Leon Redbone, Eddy Lang, and Charlie Christian.This is the only full-length study of Django ever published in English, an unforgettable portrait of a wild and independent figure who never learned to read or write (friends forged his autographs), exasperated those people who lived by schedules, gambled away a week's salary in a night, but who played guitar like no one before or since.
