David Horowitz Books

In a narrative that possesses both remarkable political importance and extraordinary literary power, David Horowitz tells the story of his startling political odyssey from Sixties radical to Nineties conservative. A political document of our times, Radical Son traces three generations of one American family's infatuation with the radical left from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Marxist empire six decades later. 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 populates Radical Son with vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade, while unmaking America at the same time. We are introduced to an aged Bertrand Russell, the world-famous philosopher and godson of John Stuart Mill, who in his nineties became America's scourge, organizing A War Crimes Tribunal over the war in Vietnam. There is Tom Hayden, the radical Everyman who promoted guerrilla warfare in America's cities in the Sixties, married film legend Jane Fonda, and became a Democratic state senator when his revolutions failed. We meet Huey Newton, a street hustler and murderer who founded a black militia that became the Sixties' most resonant symbol of black power and black militance. Horowitz's encounter with Newton and his Black Panthers. The most celebrated radical group of the Sixties, becomes the focal point of the story when a brutal murder committed by the Panthers changes his life forever, prompting the profound "second thoughts" that eventually led him to become an intellectual leader of conservatism and its most prominent activist in Hollywood

Conservative commentator David Horowitz looks ahead to the 2020 Presidential election, chronicling bitter backlash President Trump has faced and denounces left-wing socialist agendas.

New York Times Bestselling author, former Red Diaper Baby turned legendary conservative pundit, and founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Horowitz turns his focus to the upcoming mid-terms and 2024 presidential elections. As the far-left progressives and socialists masquerading as Democrats take over the schools, major media, high tech, and corporations, Horowitz says their real plan is the destruction of America. If the Democrats prevail in the upcoming elections, America will move even closer to a one-party state. FINAL BATTLE lays out what's at stake and provides what he believes is the best hope for saving America as we know it by creating a conservative mass movement that can defeat the left wing.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS IN CRISIS. The crisis facing our nation is a crisis of faith - faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in individual freedom and accountability, faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness consuming America is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington and in America's urban centers by a party that has fallen under the control of a radical left that believes in breaking the law for "social justice" and puts its faith in the supremacy of the state. This Left describes itself as "progressive," but is inspired by views that are hundreds of years old and have been discredited wherever they have been put into practice. Progressives are focused on "re-imagining" American institutions and principles to conform to an ideological conception of the future which they describe as "equitable" and "socially just." To achieve this future, the left's first goal is to dismantle the constitutional order that has created the prosperity and freedoms that have grown and spread since the American founding. The left views this order as "racist," "oppressive," and in need of a "fundamental transformation."

The best-selling author argues that the greatest threat facing the United States is the "totalitarian" faction of the Democratic party, such as the leaders of the Women's March and opponents of Brett Kavanuagh's Supreme Court nomination.

Discusses the Kennedys and reveals the true stories behind America's most famous family.

The book addresses a perceived crisis threatening America's democratic foundations, arguing that current narratives portray the nation as inherently racist and deserving of destruction. It contends that these views are propagated by influential institutions, including the government and educational systems. By presenting a counter-narrative, it aims to reclaim America's historical achievements and its legacy as a symbol of freedom. Through the lens of Martin Luther’s ideas, the author asserts that racial progress stems from America's founding ideals rather than leftist agendas, advocating for a restoration of individual dignity and freedom.

David Horowitz spent his early life immersed in the Communist-progressive left, a legacy from his parents, and later became a founder of the New Left. By the mid-1970s, he recognized the damage caused by this movement and chose to leave it behind. Over the next three decades, he transformed into a principal intellectual opponent of the left. In the preface to this collection of his conservative writings, he reflects on his journey: "For better or worse, I have been condemned to spend the rest of my days attempting to understand how the left pursues the agendas from which I have separated myself, and why." As Horowitz began this exploration, the left had already transcended the political confines of previous generations. Today, it dominates America's academic and media landscapes, having elected a president and positioned itself to shape the nation's future. Horowitz's writings delve into how the left achieved this success and its implications. Through the perspective of a deeply engaged witness, he sheds light on a destructive movement that continually reinvents itself to obscure its true identity and mission. In "My Life and Times," the first volume, he recounts his experiences at odds with his own country, collaborating with radical figures like Huey Newton and confronting others, marking his evolution from a key theorist of the American left to its most resolute adversary.
