This is a collection of essays written by David Horowitz in the 1990s. However, despite being twenty years old - in fact, because they are twenty-years old - they are all the more interesting in telling the reader how we managed to get where we are today.

Twenty years ago, the cultural wars we are dealing - leftist anti-white hatred, censorship of divergent ideas, Anti-American American elites, etc. - was a real phenomenon, but limited to the institutions that the Left then controlled, namely academia. Now, these habits of the Left have gone mainstream into mainstream news and mainstream politics. Horowitz provides an insight into how the habits of his former comrades have become the habits of half of American society.

Horowitz also provides many historical retrospectives that provide context for the present situation. For example, after spending two years listening to baseless conspiracy theories about “Russian collusion,” Horowitz takes us back to the 1990s when there was solid evidence that Bill Clinton was conspiring with China and the media and Democrats did not care at all.

Horowitz also offers a recap on his history with the Black Panther Party. I found this surprising because while I may have thought that the Panthers were crazy, I had no idea how murderous and evil they were. In fact, it seems that they were everything they were accused of being, but I had been conditioned to treat true descriptions of the murderous and rapist activities as being hysterical.

Now, those people and their fellow travelers are the mentors of the people who are turning American politics into a cesspool.

If only Horowitz had gotten a larger audience back then.
