The Black Book of the American Left Volume 4

"David Horowitz, a writer of beautiful and accessible prose, knows the Left inside and out-literally. As a diaper baby, he saw Communism up close. As a second-thoughts conservative, he stepped back to see the big picture emerge from the small dots. Who better to author a set of volumes called The Black Book of the American Left?"-Daniel J. Flynn, author of A Conservative History of the American Left "David Horowitz is so powerful a polemicist that it is often forgotten how beautifully he writes. For the same reason, the deeply considered philosophical perspective and the wide-ranging erudition underlying his political passions are just as often overlooked. Horowitz is hated by the left because he is not only an apostate but has been even more relentless and aggressive in attacking his former political allies than some of us who preceded him in what I once called 'breaking ranks' with that world. He has also taken the polemical and organizational techniques he learned in his days on the left, and figured out how to use them against the left, whose vulnerabilities he knows in his bones.-Norman Podhoertz
