520    "David Horowitz spent the first part of his life in the 
       world of the Communist-progressive left, a politics he 
       inherited from his mother and father, and later in the New
       Left as one of its founders. When the wreckage he and his 
       comrades had created became clear to him in the mid-1970s,
       he left. Three decades of second thoughts then made him 
       this movement's principal intellectual antagonist. "For 
       better or worse, " as Horowitz writes in the preface to 
       this, the first volume of his collected conservative 
       writings, "I have been condemned to spend the rest of my 
       days attempting to understand how the left pursues the 
       agendas from which I have separated myself, and why." When
       Horowitz began his odyssey, the left had already escaped 
       the political ghetto to which his parents' generation and 
       his own had been confined. Today, it has become the 
       dominant force in America's academic and media cultures, 
       electing a president and achieving a position from which 
       it can shape America's future. How it achieved its present
       success and what that success portends are the overarching
       subjects of Horowitz's conservative writings. Through the 
       unflinching focus of one singularly engaged witness, the 
       identity of a destructive movement that constantly morphs 
       itself in order to conceal its identity and mission 
       becomes disturbingly clear. In Volume I of these writings,
       "My Life and Times, " Horowitz reflects on the years he 
       spent at war with his own country, collaborating with and 
       confronting radical figures like Huey Newton, Tom Hayden 
       and Billy Ayers, as he made his transition from what the 
       writer Paul Berman described as the American left's "most 
       important theorist" to its most determined enemy"--
