Synopsis

Politics is war; but in America, one side is doing all the shooting—the liberals. Shell-shocked conservatives blame their failures on the media or on unscrupulous opponents, but they refuse to name the real culprit: themselves.In a book that will shatter the complacency of establishment conservatives, David Horowitz shows how Bill Clinton's generation, having mastered the art of political war, has spent the last ten years clobbering the conservatives in and out of government. The bestselling author of Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes has the strategy to fight back.

I have to say I don't really enjoy the 'bundled essay' format for audiobooks, because you can't see differences in fonts and white spaces, which help navigate readers. Sub titles and other headers are not vi......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on January 07, 2021

Even though it's been out for 20 years, David Horowitz's book The Art of Political War: And Other Radical Pursuits is still as valid today as the day it was written. This appears to be a "timeless" book because most of the material is still relevant to today's political world. The Left is still the......more

Quotes

“A blunt, savvy, Machiavellian manual on the art of political campaigning…Reveals Horowitz as an independent, rigorous, outspoken political analyst.” Publishers Weekly

“Jeff Riggenbach’s bass voice is clear and strong, and he reads Horowitz’s sometimes complex, highly charged rhetoric with ease, the right pace, and the right interpretation. The section on race politics is especially provocative.” AudioFile
