I'll tell you another good book, if you were moved by Witness, is David Horowitz's Radical Son. Even better than that is his Politics of Bad Faith which was released around the same time and is basically an abridged distillation of Radical Son. That book is so powerful that I still have visual memories of sitting there reading it and being affected by it. It's similar to Witness in that it's written by someone who deeply understands, and to a substantial degree sympathizes with, the left's moral passions. He includes letters that he exchanged with his soon-to-be ex leftist friends around the time he was leaving the fold. They are the highlight of the book in my opinion -- very moving and very illuminating.

Yep. I read that too, and it was a REAL eye-opener. The communists amongst us, the red-diaper babies...

When David Horowitz talks about liberals...I listen. Closely.

Because he knows of what he speaks.
