Radical son

 By David Horowitz

Book overview

This riveting national bestseller is an intimate, uncompromising account of personal and political transformation, documenting David Horowitz's journey from 1960s radical to 1990s conservative. As he explores his painful estrangement from his radical parents and former political collaborators, Horowitz forms the framework for an incisive critique of the evolution of the American Left and a scathing indictment of the legacy of the 1960s.

"Radical Son is the single most important book I've ever read about modern American history and politics". -- Mary Matalin
