Radical Son: Second Edition

by David Horowitz

Overview

Radical Son is one of the best political memoirs I’ve read. Though it is really a love story—one man becomes passionately enamored with freedom, responsibility, and reason. Or maybe it’s a book about faith healing, a true account of how belief in human dignity and individual rights cures blindness, folly, and hatred. Anyway, everyone who was ever involved with or influenced by the New Left should read David Horowitz’s words, and then eat their own. I think the last political book that affected me this strongly was Hayek’s Road to Serfdom.” — P.J. O’Rourke, Author of “Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut”

“David Horowitz’s political pilgrimage from a Sixties radical to a Reagan conservative—and the friends and enemies he has made along the way—makes for a very interesting, very compelling story. Speaking as a conservative: it’s much better to have David Horowitz with you than against you. Radical Son demonstrates why.” — William J. Bennett, Author of “The Moral Compass”

“Watch out all of you statist shills and racialist hucksters out there who think you have gotten away with murder and mayhem over the last five decades, with alibis and applause from the media and the academy:

Radical Son: Second Edition

David Horowitz has got your number and your jugular. In the first great American autobiography of his generation, this ardent writer on the ramparts remorselessly tracks them all down, going deep into the lairs of the professional liars of the left—the guilty and the gulled, the sadistic and the philanderous, the vain and the vicious—and strips away their tawdry veneer of glamour and idealism to reveal the vile truth—about the Black Panthers and the rest of the revolutionary felons and felines, and finally, in gut-wrenching candor, himself.”  — George Gilder
