The Black Book of the American Left – Volume 1: My Life and Times:
David Horowitz spent the first part of his life in the world of the Communist-progressive left, a politics he inherited from his mother and father, and later in the New Left as one of its founders. When the wreckage he and his comrades had created became clear to him in the mid-1970s, he left. Three decades of second thoughts then made him this movement’s principal intellectual antagonist. “For better or worse,” as Horowitz writes in the preface to this, the first volume of his collected conservative writings, “I have been condemned to spend the rest of my days attempting to understand how the left pursues the agendas from which I have separated myself, and why.”
When Horowitz began his odyssey, the left had already escaped the political ghetto to which his parents’ generation and his own had been confined. Today, it has become the dominant force in America’s academic and media cultures, electing a president and achieving a position from which it can shape America’s future. How it achieved its present success and what that success portends are the overarching subjects of Horowitz’s conservative writings. Through the unflinching focus of one singularly engaged witness, the identity of a destructive movement that constantly morphs itself in order to conceal its identity and mission becomes disturbingly clear.
In Volume I of these writings, “My Life and Times,” Horowitz reflects on the years he spent at war with his own country, collaborating with and confronting radical figures like Huey Newton, Tom Hayden and Billy Ayers, as he made his transition from what the writer Paul Berman described as the American left’s “most important theorist” to its most determined enemy.
The Black Book of the American Left – Volume 2: Progressives
In Progressives, the second volume of this this monumental work, Horowitz shows how this term, once used by America’s communists to hide their true identity, is now used by liberals to describe themselves and their movement. Today’s “progressives” believe that they alone are forward looking while the rest of humanity lags behind; that their vision of what’s good for everyone else justifies their coercive means; that because they are social redeemers building
Utopia, they can ignore the devastation caused by the construction process.
In addition to dissecting these destructive self delusions of the progressive mind, Horowitz demonstrates a deft touch in this volume in his profiles of Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, Bill Ayers, Tom Hayden, Oliver Stone, Eric Hobsbawm, Edward Said, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Betty Friedan and other self described progressives with whom he has come in contact during his political journey. He probes the truths behind their biographies and shows that while their rhetoric may be utopian, their intellectual energies have been focused solely on the work of destruction.
The Black Book of the American Left – Volume 3: The Great Betrayal
Intellectually provocative and forcefully argued, Volume 3 of The Black Book of the American Left shows why David Horowitz is the worst enemy of the Left and a national treasure for conservatives.
In The Great Betrayal, Horowitz focuses on events from 9/11 to the Iraq War. The essays chronicle how efforts to remove the Saddam regime, initially supported by both major political parties, were cynically abandoned by the Democratic Party whose leaders then conducted a five year campaign against the war while American troops were still on the battlefield.
These politicians were, Horowitz shows, acting in concert with "progressives" who, without overtly supporting the Saddam regime as their political ancestors had the Kremlin, were nonetheless resuming the left’s historic role as frontier
guards for the enemies of the United States.
The Black Book of the American Left – Volume 4: Islamo-Fascism and the War Against the Jews
One part of the present volume, “Islamo Fascism and the War Against the Jews,” is comprised of front line dispatches from the holy war totalitarian Islamists are waging on America and the West. It recounts the campaign Horowitz organized to confront the growing presence of jihadists on American college campuses, where, in an unholy alliance with anti American radicals, they use concepts such as “Islamophobia” to kill open discussion of radical Islam’s oppression of women, its violence against homosexuals, its effort to annihilate other religions, and its long range goal of destroying democracy.
In the second half of this volume, Horowitz focuses on the Islamists’ violent and hate-filled anti-Israel propaganda campaign on campus—anti Semitism barely disguised—that amounts to a war against the Jews and against America itself by a Fifth Column that has acquired disturbing power
