David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left and an editor of Ramparts, the magazine that set the intellectual and revolutionary tone for the movement. From his vantage point at the center of the action, he provides vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade: world-famous philosopher Bertrand Russell, who in his 90s became America's scourge, organizing a War Crimes Tribunal over the war in Vietnam; Tom Hayden, the radical Everyman who promoted guerrilla warfare in America's cities in the 60s and became a Democratic state senator when his revolutions failed; and Huey Newton, a street hustler and murderer who founded the most celebrated radical group of the 60s, the Black Panthers. A brutal murder committed by the Panthers prompted Horowitz's profound "second thoughts" that eventually transformed him into an intellectual leader of conservatism and its most prominent activist in Hollywood.©1997 David Horowitz (P)1998 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"David Horowitz's powerful autobiography details a long journey from a boyhood in the ambit of American Stalinism, through young adulthood at the vanguard of the New Left, to a mid-life recognition that his various gods had failed. Horowitz's gift for irony and eye for detail haven't deserted him." (Eric Breindel, editorial page editor, New York Post)

So true on so many levels. Too bad this book will be wasted on conservatives, the most likely audience.

Well written story and interesting journey

It is more than a political autobiography, but the political aspects are the most interesting. Horowitz provides outstanding insights into the left. His transformation story is by far the most interesting portion. The narrator is average. He adds nothing, but also doesn't distract the reader.

Excellent political autobiography.

This book is a guide to life as well as a guide to the left. Therefore very valuable.

Great Book. Great reader.

This is a book all who are tempted to believe in the Utopian view of the Progressive Left should read. After being a fully indoctrinated member of the Progressive movement David Horowitz broke free from the lies and deceits. Well worth your time to read.
