He cites the book by R. Emmet Tyrell, Conservative Crack-Up and David Frum's Dead Right. Neither of these guys are rocket scientists but if you're writing about this you need to see what they say.
I'd also consult Gary Wills, Kevin Phillips, and Michael Lind, all of whom made the uncommon journey from right to left. Wills and Phillips trip was quite long ago, so Lind may be the best of these.

Can anyone help me?
I am looking for good insiders' accounts, i.e. memoirs or articles, of the New Right in the late seventies and eighties, in America mostly.
I'm especially interested in accounts of how it all came together and of how it all fell apart.
