| Summary |
"Christopher Rufo shows the history of radical intellectuals and militants working to capture America's key institutions and change them from within"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
In the 1960s, Mao launched China's Cultural Revolution. It was bloody, fast-- and a failure. Rufo believe that America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it's just been slower, calmer, and more effective. Here he uncovers the hidden history of left-wing intellectuals and activists who systematically took control of America's institutions to undermine them from within. He shows how radical, destructive ideology slowly worked its way from prisons to academia to classrooms to your human resources department. Failing to act soon, Rufo warns, will allow the radical left to replace constitutional equality with a race-based system overseen by bureaucratic 'diversity and inclusion' officials. -- adapted from jacket |
