Publisher's Note
In this follow-up to his successful autobiography "Radical Son", the most famous defector from the radical left argues that even in this supposedly post-ideological, post-Cold War era, the historic conflict between left and right still drives our politics and animates our cultural debates.

Industry Reviews
In his fiesty autobiography, Radical Son (LJ 12/96), Horowitz recounted his heady journey from Socialist Left to free-market Right. His new book is billed as a follow-up but basically revisits the same thesis advanced in the earlier work: that the ideals and values of the American Left are antithetical to the American way of life. Even after the collapse of communism, the Left "refuses to die," writes Horowitz. "Despite its dismal record of collusion and failure, the tradition of the Left is intellectually dominant in the American university today in a way that its disciples would never have dreamed possible 30 years ago." In denouncing the influence of the Left, Horowitz critiques the ideas of Eric Hobsbawm, Noam Chomsky, Isaac Deutscher, and other "anti-American" authors. Horowitz is an energetic polemicist, but his book is marred by careless statements, such as the inaccurate claim that Columbia University's "Great Books" course requires that undergraduates read "the avatars, and the fellow travellers of the discredited Left" such as Jurgen Habermas, John Rawls, and Hannah Arendt. Recommended for libraries with collections in conservative thought. Kent Worcester, Marymount Manhattan Coll., New York
