The Great Betrayal: The Black Book of the American Left Volume 3

The basic facts of David Horowitzâ€™s political odyssey, one of the most significant of the last forty years, are well known. A â€œred diaper babyâ€ who grew up in the political ghetto of communism, he became a leading Marxist â€œtheoristâ€ in the early 1960s and one of the godfathers of the New Left. But following Americaâ€™s defeat in Vietnam, Horowitz began to reevaluate the damage those commitments had done to the country. He realized that America was a good as well as a great nation, worth defending. This conviction led him toward the conservative movement, one of whose leading spokesman he became.
The Black Book of the American Left is the result of that concerted intellectual effort. It collects all of Horowitzâ€™s conservative writings over the last thirty yearsâ€”at once a sharp look at the dark heart of the left; an exploration of how conservatives must respond to its permanent assault on America; and a unique trip log showing the evolving intellectual journey of one of our bravest and most original thinkers.
In The Great Betrayal, the third volume of this monumental work, Horowitz focuses on the crucial period between the 9/11 attack on America and the first days of the Iraq war. The effort to remove the Saddam regime was initially supported by both major parties. But by the third month of fighting in Iraq the Democrats had turned against the war they authorized in an effort to gain political advantage at home. They not only turned their backs on American troops in the field and also crippled efforts to curtail the terrorist activities of Iran, Syria and other Middle East regimes. Working in lockstep with radical leftist groups, the Democratsâ€™ sabotage of a war they had just authorized was unprecedented in U.S. history. Horowitz shows how this Great Betrayal put our national security at risk and how the drift and appeasement it created continues to paralyze U.S. foreign policy today.
