I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

I met David on campus when he was on the other side of the fence, a 60's Radical, to hear the changes and read the truth from his direct personal experiences with the left...it is so refreshing to have Horowitz and Hitchens so clearly explain their open lies...in Special Forces we were trained in Psyops,intelligence gathering, and mob infiltration tactics... all this risk to get the lies understood so we could counter the lies with the truth!!! No real disinformation campaign can defeat the TRUTH! look at Bush poll numbers when he finally responded to the Dims lies...wait until the Sunday Speech by Bush tomorrow...it will hit hard, and it will be seen on all MSM...I pray he hits it out of the park with straight talk!!! God Bless the USA...Jim
