Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
In Course of Destruction, David Horowitz presents a fierce critique of modern progressivism, portraying it as a twenty-first century totalitarian threat to American values. The author exposes what he describes as the woke left's destructive agendas, calling for defence of family, Judeo-Christian values, and the Constitution. Horowitz warns against false narratives about racism and a Democratic Party that, he argues, undermines dialogue and fuels animosity. This book is a call to action to protect individual freedom and the country's founding principles.

"A harrowing journey through the corridors of the twenty-first century totalitarianism that goes by the name of progressivism. Must read!"

- DINESH D'SOUZA

"David Horowitz is a modern legend. This book is critical to understanding the left and how we defeat them."

- CHARLIE KIRK

AMERICA IS HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS

The Radical Mind all Americans enjoy.

In his latest broadside against the radical left, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz pulls back the curtain of secrecy and lies and exposes the dangerous methods and agendas of a woke left mob. He identifies what a decent society needs to do to prevent the country from slipping away, including:

  • Defend families against the intrusion of outside forces, ideological and governmental, which seek to capture the hearts and minds of children to serve their destructive agendas.
  • Stop radicals from debasing Judeo-Christian values and silencing Christian communities and voices in favour of political state control.
  • Reject progressive blindness, including false racist narratives that America is a racist country.
  • Challenge the existential threat to American democracy from a Democratic Party that has made dialogue, compromise, and bipartisanship impossible and uses a corrupt and compliant media to unleash a constant tsunami of hate toward conservatives and ordinary Americans alike.
  • Renew faith in the Constitution and in individual freedom.

Read The Radical Mind and join the fight against the destructive plans of the woke left:

"The hour is late, and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, reacquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful, and the haters of human diversity who have malice in their hearts."

- DAVID HOROWITZ

David Horowitz is hailed as a modern legend by Charlie Kirk, who calls the book essential for understanding and defeating the political left.

About the Author

DAVID HOROWITZis a noted conservative thinker, writer and commentator and the Founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles, CA, whose mission is "to defend free societies which are under attack from enemies within and without, both secular and religious;" and further, to defend the principles of individual freedom, the rule of law, private property, limited government and to reestablish academic freedom in American schools. The Freedom Center publishes the online news magazine FrontPageMag.com, where Horowitz serves as Editor-in-Chief.


David Horowitz grew up a "red diaper baby" in a communist community in Sunnyside, Queens, and was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine,Ramparts; but forced to confront some difficult truths about the political left, Horowitz ultimately found a political and intellectual home as a conservative activist.


Cultural critic Camille Paglia has said of David Horowitz: "I respect the astute and rigorously unsentimental David Horowitz as one of America's most original and courageous political analysts. . . I think that, a century from now, cultural historians will find David Horowitz's spiritual and political odyssey paradigmatic for our time."

Norman Podhoretz, former editor ofCommentarymagazine, says of Horowitz: "David Horowitz is hated by the Left because he is not only an apostate but has been even more relentless and aggressive in attacking his former political allies than some of us who preceded him in what I once called 'breaking ranks' with that world. He has also taken the polemical and organizational techniques he learned in his days on the left and figured out how to use them against the Left, whose vulnerabilities he knows in his bones."

Horowitz has written well over a dozen books, including TheNew York TimesBestsellersBlitz: Trump will Smash the Left and Win, and BigAgenda: Trump's Real Plan to Save America, as well asDark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, Unholy Alliance, The Black Book of The American Left, Take No Prisoners, Progressive Racism, The Professorsand his celebrated memoirsMorality & FaithandRadical Son.
