David Horowitz Books

In a narrative rich with political significance and literary strength, David Horowitz recounts his journey from a Sixties radical to a Nineties conservative. This political document explores three generations of an American family's fascination with the radical left, spanning from the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 to the fall of the Marxist empire decades later. As a founder of the New Left and editor of Ramparts, Horowitz offers vivid portraits of key figures from this transformative era, illustrating their roles in shaping the radical decade while simultaneously undermining America. Among those featured is Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher who, in his nineties, became a vocal critic of the Vietnam War, organizing a War Crimes Tribunal. Tom Hayden, the archetypal radical who advocated for urban guerrilla warfare, later transitioned to a Democratic state senator after his revolutionary aspirations faltered. The narrative also highlights Huey Newton, a street hustler who founded a black militia symbolizing black power and militance. A pivotal encounter with Newton and the Black Panthers, the most notable radical group of the Sixties, profoundly impacts Horowitz's life, leading to a transformative realization that ultimately positions him as a leading figure in conservatism and a 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.

This description is based on the MIT professor's writings on linguistics in the 1950s; but beginning with his criticism of the Vietnam War in the 1960s, Chomsky became much better known for his radical politics than for his theories of language. Over the past forty years he has gained a devoted following in the United States and Europe for his increasingly bitter--some say hysterical--censure of U.S. "crimes." Chomsky has complained about being ignored by mainstream publications such as the "New York Times," but in fact his steady stream of polemical works, like the best-selling "9-11," have made him the center of a veritable cult. In "The Anti-Chomsky Reader," editors Peter Collier and David Horowitz have assembled a set of essays that analyze Chomsky's intellectual career and the evolution of his anti-Americanism. The essays in this provocative book focus on subjects such as Chomsky's bizarre involvement with Holocaust revisionism, his apologies for Khmer Rouge tyrant Pol Pot, and his claim that America's policies in Latin America in the 1980s were comparable to Nazism. Scholar Paul Bogdanor writes about Chomsky's hatred of Israel. Ronald Radosh and David Horowitz discuss his gloating reaction to the September 11 attack. Linguists Paul Postal and Robert Levine reevaluate Chomsky's linguistics and find the same qualities there that others see in his politics: "a deep contempt for the truth, descents into incoherence, and verbal abuse of those who disagree with him." "The Anti-Chomsky Reader" presents a fascinating composite portrait of a man who arguably is our most influential public intellectual.
