This is an excellent, fair, and scholarly inquiry into the roots of contemporary radicalism with an emphasis on the nexus between Judaism and the propensity toward radical political stances and behaviors. An important point repeatedly made in various contexts is that the significance of Jews in radical movements is based less on their absolute numbers in those movements than on their tendency to provide the intellectual and political leadership. Certainly this is not the first time that Jewish scholars and writers have made these observations and yet they never really penetrate popular understanding, It is -- as we all know -- not politically correct to speak of such things. The whole point of political correctness is to distort everyone's reality field so that history becomes a propaganda tool of the left with all the inconvenient truth scrubbed out.

Not a single review from a book published in 1996 by two Jewish academics providing irrefutable proof of the subversive role of radical Jews in transforming the US from a nation of traditional values to one of European socialism and Marxism?

This book will change your life and help you understand why America has taken such a nose dive and the true culprits involved in promoting the degradation of our rich traditional values.

The other reviews till now (6/16/16) act as if the leading role played by Jews in the radical movements of the Sixties has was unknown or kept secret before this book was published. In truth, it was Jews themselves, like Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol, and Ralph de Toledano, who pointed this out at the time and inveighed against the young Jewish malcontents. Moreover, the authors of this book are themselves Jews. Unlike Christians, who await utopia after the second coming, Jews often try to create it now. There are many reasons for this, one being that Jewish radicals came to America from Eastern Europe where they were oppressed. Some, shamefully, did not alter their views upon coming here. Most did, however. The Jews who came from Western Europe, like Germany, were more than eager to become thoroughly Americanized and tended to hide their Judaism, just like they fought vehemently against the creation of the State of Israel. (One can still see this tendency among the Jews-- many of Germanic origin-- of places like San Francisco.)

Interestingly, Jews tend to be damned if they do, and damned if they don't. With the growth of
"neoconservatism" in the Sixties, they were not welcomed into the traditional conservative movement except for a few , like William Buckley. Even today, the term "neoconservatism" is used as an anti-Semitic slur by some of those on the Right.

Yes, the Jews played a leading role in the radical left. On my campus, Columbia University, I used to curse at the Jewish rioters in Yiddish and encouraged the police to treat them forcefully.
