The Art of Political War and Other Radical Pursuits

Last updated October 31, 2026

By David Horowitz

In this political guide for conservatives, David Horowitz, once a Marxist activist himself, argues that conservatives lose elections because they fight with policy arguments while the Left fights with emotion and moral appeals. He sets out rules for political combat, from defining the opponent to speaking in terms of hope and fear. The book also collects his essays on the radical movements of the 1960s and their legacy.
