In this Sunday's Sun, check out a review of two new books about Barrry Goldwater.

Flying High, a highly enjoyable read by the late William F. Buckley Jr., focuses on Goldwater's role in the 1950s and 1960s in taking over the moderate Republican Party. It also tells of Buckley and his cadre of young conservatives, who were trying to create the right wing's own version of Camelot. 

For a closer look at Goldwater's career in the 1970s and 1980s, try Pure Goldwater, edited by Barry Goldwater Jr., a former congressman, and John W. Dean III, the White House counsel who testified against Richard M. Nixon in the Watergate hearings. They selected the senator's words, often explaining the times and context, and his journal entries, letters and speeches. 

Aldso, get a roundup of crime fiction, including The Dirty Secrets Club by Meg Gardiner, who has drawn high praise from Stephen King. Gardiner, a talented writer making a name for herself in Britain for her Evan Delaney novels, has created an appealing, entertaining thriller about a series of bizarre murder/suicides in San Francisco.
