The Politics of Bad Faith
The Radical Assault on Americas Future

In this intellectual companion piece to David Horowitzs acclaimed autobiography, Radical Son, the most famous defector from the radical Left argues that the historic themes of that conflict still drive our politics and animate our cultural debates today. With keen political insight and a masterful grasp of history, Horowitz traces the radical project from its origins in nineteenthcentury socialism to the disastrous excesses of such current progressive causes as political correctness, radical feminism, racial preferences, and what he describes as the nihilistic campaign to deconstruct the American idea itself. He points out the refusal of the political Left to learn from the checkered history of progressive movements for social justice and equal outcomes, and warns that this refusal is creating a new cold war against Americaa culture war that pits progressives against Americas founding principles and ideas.
