Red hiding behind White!

The beauty of this book is it's publishing date, it's 20 years old. which makes David Horowitz a profit insofar as he explains and defines historical events 20 years ago that are not only relevant, but evident today. the whole race card excuse for every problem facing American society today is because of systemic racism! namely 'white hierarchy' supposedly suppressing others from advancing in Life. David Horowitz exposes the Lies from the left for what they really are, Communism ideologies! from his own experiences with the black panthers, to Washington's collusion with China. he also exposes the universities of America as Marxist advocates, and this is 20 years before many Americans even began to understand it! his insightful and heartfelt exposure to the left from his own personal journey is invaluable to understanding the Lie behind the myth of systemic racism. I think his own words about the sad reality of communism is this; 'A century of broken dreams and the slaughters they spawned' really sums up a brutal system of lies and deception that communism produces. if you want to understand the madness of our society today, than read a book that explains it from 20 years ago! fake racism is the fuel that creates hostility and chaos today.

home to roost.

having lived in Oakland California and knowing some of the characters in the book only confirms how the city was prayed on by the liberal agenda.

Old news

This book is mostly old Salon articles published before 1999 complaining about WJ Clinton and the double standards in the black/white dialogue. So I didn't get any new insights from this work as I have come to expect from Horowitz.

Engrossing

This is in part an engrossing memoir of Horowitz's experiences as a member of the radical left, in part a fascinating work of investigative journalism about the betrayal of the United States by three Clinton administration. If you've ever wondered how China caught up to the US in supercomputing and other technologies, the answer is here. What is really shocking is how few people know the truth.

Laughably caustic rant

Former far Left activist David Horowitz takes that same Left to task in this moderately long audiobook. It’s a bit over 9 hours, but it felt like far longer as I listened to Horowitz repeatedly savage the left for its arrogance and stupidity. The author grew up, I’ve read, in a community that provided him his communist bonafides, later joining with the Black Panthers and other revolutionaries to change the world. At that time, he avers, he was not aware of most of the less savory aspects and actions of those with whom he was associating, e.g., drug use, violence, corruption, misogyny, etc. He appears to have brought that same level of obtuseness to his relationship with the far right after his conversion to conservatism. According to this diatribe, the author is convinced everyone on the left A) is a white-hating socialist (if not outright communist) who condemns all whites as racist, B) is uniformly anti-democratic, and C) believe western civilization is inherently and irretrievably flawed. Frankly, I’m now searching for my long misplaced membership card in the liberal left. In my rush to join I must have failed to read the fine print on the back that probably noted all these truths. Shame on me. Anyway, I was less than impressed with Horowitz himself, and even less so with his flimsy arguments proving the dastardly character of the left. To his credit, he does point out flaws—some quite serious—of various high profile characters like Louis Farrakhan, Angela Davis, and Elijah Muhammad to name only three, who have been fully embraced at one time or another by left leaning politicians. He cites their (and others’) beliefs as proof that all people on the left hold those same views and condemns them all. Horowitz’ rant is so extreme as to be laughable. That reaction, however, may be a self-defense mechanism kicking in to protect me from accepting my complicity in attempting to overturn western civilization and rid the United States if not the world of white people. Read at your risk.
