Experts on the verge of insanity.
Reading this book was an exercise in democracy for me, and it wasn't too surprising to find the idea that promiscuous gay encounters are a much better paradigm for democracy than anything that heterosexists ever thought up.At times, it hardly seems likely that any country will actually embrace democratic ideals as heartily as gay liberation has been emphasized in the American media, but this perspective serves to demonstrate a real relationship between political theory and the ideas in this book, and there are a lot of ideas in this book.Read more

First-rate look at beginnings of conservative movement
(I originally reviewed this book in the Autumn 1992 issue of Terra Nova, a no-longer-published quarterly from the International Freedom Foundation in Washington, DC.)The triumph of conservative politics in the United States and classical liberalism worldwide was not due entirely to academic treatises.It required ward-heeling, electioneering, money, and propaganda.This memoir tells the tale of a behind-the-scenes activist helping others gain the limelight. Liebman was a committed Communist whose mind was changed when Stalin's atrocities came to light in the 1950s.He brought to the nascent conservative movement a talent for the agitprop developed by the Left and instituted grassroots organizing and fundraising methods still in use today.A longtime associate of William F. Buckley, Jr., he cofounded Young Americans for Freedom and the American Conservative Union.He is probably the only person to work both on Henry Wallace's Communist-front presidential campaign in 1948 and those of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan two decades later.His book helps put the conservative movement in both a personal and a historical context. ...

This book is fine as history.It needs updating now though.
In the post Romer vs. Evans era (1996) this book is out-dated.The authors are experts in their fields.But the material needs up-dating.The ACLU is highly respectable as defenders of gay rights. ... Read more
