I read the book a few months ago and was very disappointed. The author gives a few pages to members of the Frankfurt school, cites a few quotes, but does very little analysis on how they expanded their influence to take over the academy and culture. No bloodlines, as it were.

Far more of it is speculative musings, not much backed up by evidence, on religious matters, the devil, and music. IIRC, and I’m not sure I do, because this wasn’t a book that stuck with me, John Milton’s Paradise Lost is Walsh’s source on Satan, rather than the Bible.

Worth taking a look at to see if it speaks to you, but not worth the money or shelf space IMO. Try the library or borrow from a friend.

Really? I read the review in Frontpagemag and was hopeful of pith cultural commentary.
