David Horowitz: The Art of Political War
No full textA best-selling author, Horowitz made the lifelong intellectual and political journey from 1960s radical activist and leader of the New Left to crusader against what he calls the corrosive effects of leftism on culture.
During the 1960s Horowitz became the leader of the New Left, editing Ramparts magazine, an influential left-wing journal. Dissatisfied with the tragic consequences of radical policies in America and abroad, he withdrew from politics in the 1970s.
Horowitz and his partner, Peter Collier, then co-authored a series of best-selling biographies of prominent American families: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976), The Kennedys: An American Drama (1985), The Fords: An American Epic (1987) and The Roosevelts: An American Saga (1994).
In 1989, Horowitz co-authored Destructive Generations: Second Thoughts About the Sixties, which chronicled the legacy of the New Left and its effects on American politics and culture. His autobiography, Radical Son (1987), recounts his political journey, while his latest book, The Politics of Bad Faith, focuses on leftism and its socialist themes.
Horowitz has earned numerous awards for his books. He was honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1976 and received the Teach Freedom Award from President Ronald Reagan.
He founded the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, located in Los Angeles, in 1988. It now boasts 20,000 members and publishes four magazines, including Heterodoxy, a monthly magazine that focuses on political correctness and other follies

America\u27s Political Class Under Fire: The Twentieth Century\u27s Great Culture War
No full textDavid A. Horowitz mounts a vigorous challenge in this book to the conventional wisdom of political historians, both on the left and right. Rebels against the rule of the best and the brightest have often altered the outcome of elections and the shape of government policies. Now, at last, they have a full and empathetic treatment of what they believed and what they accomplished. -- Michael Kazin, author of The Populist Persuasion: An American History and Professor of History, Georgetown Universit
