Of all the books I have written, America Betrayed is the one I would like every American to read.

Later that night in 2007 I sat with friend Andrew and had coffee with David Horowitz. What a thrill.
Finally, David’s son left a beautiful message following his father’s passing.
Rest in Peace to my father @horowitz39 . We love you Dad.
