Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey

Horowitz's memoir—often painful, occasionally maddening, always riveting—is a spiritual autobiography about the costs and consequences of bad commitmemts. The implications of his political choices haunt Horowitz on every page, from the breakup of hos two marriages to hos estrangement from his Communist father; from shattered friendships with former comrades to reconciliation with his grown children. This painful and difficult journey from Left to Right has made Horowitz the most hated ex-radical of his generation. In telling his story he provides not just an intimate personal account of his own transformation, but a scathing moral history of the American Left, and a guide to the evolving political conscience of an entire generation.
