“The idea that men can be as gods and re-create a paradise on earth is the serpentine promise of the Left. It is an idolatry that overshadows all others. When men put on the mantle of gods and attempt to remake the world in their own image, the results are hideous and destructive beyond conception.”
—David Horowitz, Radical Son
David Horowitz was an incredibly prolific writer. But that only matters so much in an industry where every politician running for office and FOX News talking head has a book out
Each of David’s books were singular, memorable and powerful. David Horowitz didn’t repeat himself. In his intellectual and political life, he forged new and more powerful paths.
That is why when remembering his legacy on the first anniversary of his passing, the David Horowitz Freedom Center is proud to present a ‘Legacy’ book bundle.
From ‘Radical Son: A Generation Odyssey’, one of his earliest conservative books through ‘I Can’t Breathe’, which helped break the BLM blockade by violating its political taboos, to ‘America Betrayed’, his final book in life, the ‘Legacy’ book bundle carries his voice forward.
These books, extremely different, span three decades, and an incredible intellectual journey that changed America. We’re offering them now at a 50% discount to keep David’s voice alive.
Whether it was confronting the legacy of the leftist movement into which he had been born, confronting the lies of Black Lives Matter or confronting militant secularism, David Horowitz never rested and never stopped opening up new boundaries with his powerful mind.
Long before cancel culture was a meme, David Horowitz had been canceled again and again, for both ‘Radical Son’ and ‘I Can’t Breathe’. That never stopped him from pursuing the truth.
Or asking the questions that only he could ask.
“The consensus over the [George] Floyd killing raised unsettling questions. How could there be ‘systemic racism’ throughout America’s criminal justice system if the condemnation was so universal?”
—David Horowitz, ‘I Can’t Breathe: How a Racial Hoax is Killing America’
From the very beginning until the end, David Horowitz was never afraid to call out the Left for what it was, a destructive movement built on destruction and incapable of creating anything.
“The work of social revolutionaries inevitably begins with acts of destruction designed to undermine and eventually obliterate the foundations of the old social order.”
—David Horowitz, ‘America Betrayed: How a Christian Monk Created America & Why the Left Is Determined to Destroy Her’
When he left the Left, David Horowitz launched a creative project to stop the Left. He wrote book after book. He built the organization that became the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
And since writers write to be read, we’re honored to present this legacy bundle of three books spanning David’s career, his development, his passion and his vision across time.
We hope you’ll take advantage of this bundle and treat yourself to the voice of one of America’s greatest conservative writers and thinkers.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center’s special Legacy Bundle of Radical Son, I Can’t Breathe and America Betrayed is available now for only $20,00 at the Center’s online store.
Here’s what some Front Page Magazine writers and thinkers have said about these books over the years:
“Radical Son, published in 1997 was powerful enough that even his enemies had to admit that it called up comparisons to Whittaker Chambers’ Witness and Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon. George Gilder called it ‘the first great American autobiography of his generation.’ In this memoir Horowitz provided an account of his life, the details of which were already being distorted by his political enemies, and described the intellectual process of his political change of heart. Like Chambers’ classic, Radical Son is an eloquent and riveting narrative, providing a cogent moral and intellectual basis for the changes it describes. It engages in a fearless examination of self, which was almost unprecedented in political memoirs, when Horowitz’s book appeared. Going further than any previous narrative in demonstrating how deeply the Marxist fairy tale is entwined with the character and psychology of its believers, Horowitz reveals the seductive power of the progressive faith. He shows how the socialist lie reaches into every corner of a believer’s soul, and why the break from radicalism can be a personally devastating decision.”
—Jamie Glazov, The Life and Work of David Horowitz“I Can’t Breathe contains a mountain of data that counters BLM propaganda: American police are, on average, more restrained with black suspects than with whites; while blacks make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, they commit 40 percent of the nation’s violent crimes and over 50 percent of murders, yet represent only about a quarter of those killed by police; black cops are more likely than white or Latino cops to kill unarmed black suspects; in violent crimes involving blacks and whites, blacks are the perpetrators 85 percent of the time, whites 15. And of course when blacks are killed, the perpetrators are almost always black. Simply put, every BLM claim is a fiction.”
—Bruce Bawer, Horowitz’s Tetralogy on the Enemy Within“Horowitz credits Luther with laying the foundations of the free world in his liberating ideas of the sanctity of the individual and equality, and of “the priesthood of all believers” that marked his break with the Catholic Church and became the cornerstone of Protestantism. Luther’s translation of the New Testament into the vernacular, and the timely invention of the printing press, fueled the Reformation and “an unprecedented empowerment of individuals,” ultimately resulting in the creation of a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
—Mark Tapson, America Betrayed
In his obituary for Rush Limbaugh, David Horowitz wrote that, “because he was so talented and so dedicated a warrior, we cannot hope to replace him. What we can do is be inspired by his example and step up our efforts to ‘nobly save’ our beleaguered country – the cause he lived and fought for until his last breath.” We cannot hope to replace David Horowitz, but we can continue fighting for the cause that he lived for and fought for until his last breath.
And we can spread his message.
