New Releases by David Horowitz

After losing a loved one, "pay attention to the ways in which your relationship continues." So advised Sarah Horowitz in an interview she gave the day before her unexpected death. In A Cracking of the Heart, David Horowitz explores the legacy of his extraordinary daughter''s short life, and narrates his quest for a deeper understanding of the child he lost. A remarkable woman and gifted writer, Sarah was afflicted with a birth condition that, while complicating and ultimately shortening her life, never affected her dreams. From an early age, she displayed inspiring courage in facing her own difficulties and boundless compassion. Alternately searing and uplifting, this book reconciles what could have been with what is, taking the reader through a father''s love, frustration, admiration, and grief, to what lies beyond.

In 2003, David Horowitz began a campaign to promote intellectual diversity and a return to academic standards in American universities. To achieve these goals he devised an Academic Bill of Rights and created a national student movement with chapters on 160 college campuses. Take No Prisoners is a riveting account of the reaction to Horowitz''s campaign by professor unions and academic associations, whose leaderships have been taken over by the political left.

“David Horowitz has single-handedly exposed the intellectual corruption that exists within the classrooms of American colleges. Like all forms of corruption, indoctrination flourishes when kept in the dark. Here, Horowitz turns on the bright lights to expose what has become profoundly wrong with our colleges and universities. We are all in his debt.” –Ward Connerly, former regent, University of California David Horowitz and coauthor Jacob Laksin take us inside twelve major universities where radical agendas have been institutionalized and scholarly standards abandoned. The schools they examine are not the easily avoided bottom of the barrel. Rather, they are an all-too-representative sampling of American higher education today. Horowitz and Laksin have conducted the first comprehensive, in-depth, multiyear investigation of what is being taught in colleges and universities across the country–public to private, from large state schools to elite Ivy League institutions. They have systematically scrutinized course catalogs, reading lists, professors’ biographies, scholarly records, and the first-person testimonies of students, administrators, and faculty. Citing more than 150 specific courses, they reveal how academic standards have been violated and demonstrate beyond dispute that systematic indoctrination in radical politics is now an integral part of the liberal arts curriculum of America’s colleges. The extreme ideological cant that today’s students are being fed includes: • Promoting Marxist approaches as keys to understanding human societies–with no mention of the bloody legacy of these doctrines and total collapse in the real world of the societies they created • Instilling the idea that racism, brutally enforced by a “white male patriarchy” to oppress people of color and other marginalized groups, has been the organizing principle of American society throughout its history and into the present • Requiring students to believe that gender is not a biological characteristic but a socially created aspect of human behavior designed by men to oppress women • Persuading students that America and Israel are “imperialistic” and “racist” states and that the latter has no more right to exist than the South African regime in the days of apartheid In page after shocking page, Horowitz and Laksin demonstrate that America’s colleges and universities are platforms for a virulent orthodoxy that threatens academic ideals and academic freedom. In place of scholarship and the dispassionate pursuit of truth that have long been the hallmarks of higher learning, the new militancy embraces activist zealotry and ideological fervor. In disturbingly large segments of today’s universities, students are no longer taught how to think but are told what to think.

Barack Obama''s Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model provides an understanding of the roots of the current administration''s effort to subject America to a wholesale transformation by looking at the work of one of the President''s heroes -- radical Chicago "community organizer" Saul Alinsky. The guru of Sixties radicals, Alinsky urged his followers to be flexible and opportunistic and say anything to get power, which they can then use to destroy the existing society and its economic system. Alinsky died in 1972, but left behind an organization in Chicago dedicated to his malicious ideas. This team hired Barack Obama in 1986 when he was 23 and taught him how to organize for radical transformation. In this insightful new booklet, Horowitz discusses Alinsky''s work in the 60s and his advice to radicals to seize any weapon to advance their cause. This became the philosophy of Alinskyite organizations such as ACORN and to Alinsky disciples Van Jones, a self described "communist" who served as President Obama''s "Green Czar" until he was forced to resign when his extremist ideas became public. - Publisher.

Party of Defeat is a well-documented and disturbing account of the unprecedented attacks by leaders of the Democratic Party on a war they supported and then turned their backs on. In a democracy, criticism of war policy is legitimate and necessary. But deliberate undermining of a war policy, the authors urge, is another matter entirely. Every American concerned about the future of their country in the war on terror should consider the arguments in this book. -- [Blurb signed by] Senators Jim Bunning, Tom Coburn, James Inhofe, Jon Kyl, Jeff Sessions, Rick Santorum; Representatives Ginny Brown-Waite, Howard Coble, David Dreier, Peter Hoekstra, Peter King, Howard Buck McKeon, Mike Pence, Ed Royce, Jim Saxton, John Shadegg, Lamar Smith, Mark Souder, Tome Tancredo; committees represented: Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, International Relations, Homeland Security, Judiciary.

The bestselling Unholy Alliance-now in paperback! Former Leftist radical David Horowitz blows the lid off the dangerous liaison between U.S. liberals and Islamic radicals. With America''s battle against the disastrous force of terrorism at hand, Horowitz takes us behind the curtain of the unholy alliance between liberals and the enemy-a force with malevolent intentions, and one that Americans can no longer ignore.

As leading New Leftists in the Sixties, Peter Collier and David Horowitz were intimately involved in the radicalism of the day. Later on, they became the first of their generation to publicly reject the objectives of that revolutionary era and point out the cultural chaos it had left behind. Part memoir, part political analysis, part social history, DESTRUCTIVE GENERATION is the compelling story of their intellectual journey into and out of the radical trenches. Telling stories of the New Left''s most famous (and infamous) personalities and events, Collier and Horowitz reveal the destructive legacy of the Sixties and the way in which that decade continues to cast a long shadow over politics and culture today. When it was first published more than a decade ago, DESTRUCTIVE GENERATION was a controversial bestseller that some critics compared to Whittaker Chambers'' powerful political testament, WITNESS. This new edition contains new material which makes this classic work more relevant than ever in our own divided time.

Argues that America is under attack by radical infiltrators, called the Shadow Party, who have gained control over the Democratic Party and seek to undermine the war on terror, destabilize the nation, and effect radical "regime change" in America.

Three days after terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, David Horowitz discovered that he had prostate cancer. As America was rebuilding, he emerged from months of treatment with a "reprieve" from his disease. He emerged as well with this remarkable book of hard-won insights about how we get to our end and what we learn along the way. A stunning departure from the polemics and social criticism that have made Horowitz one of our most controversial public intellectuals, The End of Time is an unflinching and lyrical meditation on subjects ranging from what parents inadvertently teach us in their deaths, to the forbidding reality of the cancer ward and the way in which figures like Mohammed Atta use death to become gods of their own mad creation. Hovering protectively over these ruminations and Horowitz''s personal crisis is his wife, April, whose stubborn love reached into the heart of his medical darkness and led him back toward the light of this work. The End of Time is also about the redemptive power of language and literature. One of the writers appearing here is the Catholic philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal, whose Pensees functions as Horowitz''s model and guide. Citing Pascal''s famous observation that "the heart has its reasons which reason does not know," Horowitz writes: "I do not have the faith of Pascal, but I know its feeling. While reason tells me the pictures will stop, I will be unafraid when death comes. I will feel my way toward the horizon in front of me, and my heart will take me home."

In this well researched and carefully argued book, Horowitz traces the origins of the reparations movement and its implications for American education and culture.

Bush in the White Houseis back with an indispensable manual for wartime politics.

"Ideological hatred of whites has become a growth industry, boosted by "civil rights" activists and liberal academics. These once-youthful radicals, now entrenched in positions of power and influence, peddle a warmed-over version of the Marxist creed that supported the communist empire and excuses intolerance to the point of murder. Betraying the legacy of Martin Luther King, this unholy alliance of black civil rights leaders and white radicals threatens to undermine America''s moral, political, and economic institutions. ... Undeterred, so it seems, by America''s Anglo-Saxon roots, people of every race and creed still flock by the millions to these shores, claiming a share of our unparalleled rights and opportunities. Yet, with staggering hypocrisy, a clique of racial warlords and academic malcontents indict our every institution for racial oppression."--Publisher description.

The bestselling author of "Radical Son" offers a searing critique of cultural trends--including multiculturalism, radical feminism, and economic socialism--and calls for the restoration of American ideals.

Politics is war, but in America, one side is doing all the shooting -- the liberals. Shell-shocked conservatives blame their failures on the media or unscrupulous opponents, but they refuse to name the real culprit: themselves. In a book that shattered the complacency of establishment conservatives -- and helped put George W. Bush in the White House -- David Horowitz lays out the strategy to fight back. -- What are the six principles of politics that liberals understand but conservatives don''t? -- How can conservatives win the "sound bite war"? -- What are the five agendas that can make the Republicans the majority party?

The author of Fight Back! And Don''t Get Ripped Off--the consumer expert known to millions for his success in winning battles against ripoffs in business and government--now teaches employees their rights on the job.

All over the world Marxism is a bankrupt political force, but not on American campuses where socialist fantasies and anti-American impulses are alive and well. On the faculties of American universities the reign of tenured radicals and the politically correct continues unbroken. Deconstructing the Left is a challenge to this radical orthodoxy by ex-radicals Peter Collier and David Horowitz.

Les grands anniversaires sont l''occasion de redorer certains mythes à défaut de redonner une seconde virginité à l''Histoire. Publié fortuitement pour le bicentenaire des Etats-Unis d''Amérique, ce livre n''obéit pas à la loi du genre : ni nostalgie, ni exaltation d''un rêve envolé. Mais la fabuleuse chronique d''un phénomène social unique en son genre et qui résume à lui seul le destin et les traits de l''Amérique triomphante : une réussite et une richesse si extraordinaires qu''on a pu les croire bénies de Dieu, une générosité tellement rentable qu''elle s''est érigée en institution, une puissance privée qui, se sentant investie d''une mission morale corroborée par ses succès financiers, a annexé le pouvoir d''Etat, confondant inextricablement ses intérêts et ceux du pays, assimilant son extension et sa propre défense à un rôle historique dont les adversaires sont devenus synonymes d''agents du mal - un phénomène dont le nom résume au XXe siècle la symbiose du pouvoir et de l''argent : les Rockefeller. Voici, sur quatre générations, l''épopée de cette véritable dynastie : la naissance de la colossale fortune léguée par John Davison Rockefeller, dit Senior, fondateur de la Standard Oil, le développement de la prospérité familiale et de son industrie phi!anthropique sous John D. II, dit Junior, l''apogée de cet Empire sous le règne des cinq frères - John D. III, Laurance, Winthrop, David, maître de la Chase Manhattan Bank, et Nelson, gouverneur de l''Etat de New York puis vice-président des Etats-Unis - jusqu''à sa remise en question par ses propres héritiers, la génération des années 60, dans l''Amérique de la guerre du Vietnam, des révoltes étudiantes et du scandale du Watergate. C''est grâce à l''aide des vingt et un arrière-petits-enfants du bâtisseur de la dynastie que Peter Collier et David Horowitz ont eu accès aux archives et aux secrets jalousement gardés qui leur ont permis d''écrire, à travers l''histoire de sa plus puissante famille, le roman de la toute-puissance américaine.
