291: Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey by David Horowitz

(During the month of September I'm recommending conservative titles with which every well-read progressive should be familiar.)

Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey

David Horowitz was a red diaper baby that grew up to be an important voice in the New Left of the 1960s. He edited the well-regarded leftist magazine Ramparts and worked closely with Huey Newton and the Black Panthers in San Francisco. In the 1980s Horowitz announced to the world that he had rejected the radical liberalism of his youth and embraced the Reagan revolution. Radical Son is Horowitz's autobiography of his journey from left to right.

Why this is libertarian/conservative: Horowitz is a prolific author and speaker. He is most notable for his criticisms of academia which he characterizes as a breeding ground for leftist indoctrination. He also often speaks and writes about the perceived dangers of Islam and radical Muslims.
