Summary
Radical liberals want to make America a better place, but their utopian social engineering leads, ironically, to greater human suffering.
From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows how the idealistic impulse to make the world a better place gives birth to the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism and is the chief source of human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and offers unparalleled insight into the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radial leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker, leftist academic Cornel West, and others.
Exploring the origin and evolution of radical liberals and their progressive ideology, Radicals illustrates how liberalism is not only intellectually crippling for its adherents but devastating to society.
David Horowitz is one of America’s most original and iconoclastic political commentators. He is the best-selling coauthor of The Rockefellers and The Kennedys and the president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. He lives in Los Angeles.

Made up BS that tries to sound intellectual
The author must deliberately mischaracterize the subjects in this book. Reading any sources and even only superficially studying/researching any of the topics from this book immediately bings up a significantly more nuanced and more interesting perspective to these things.
But Horowitz only spends about 1 sentence on each presented, supposed fact; just leaves a feeling, an impression and rushes on to a rambling monologue. If you pick any of these statements and try to map them to reality ... it just doesn't fit.. it's made up. In the meantime however, Horowitz moved on an rambles about the next topic in the culture war.
