Rufo takes a break from his hard-hitting political fights to step back into the some pop intellectual history. It's a zoomed-out version of what Richard Hanania does in history of the expansion of the civil rights state, which may make it feel a little less vital to some readers. Still, for those who are unfamiliar with the intellectual development of critical theory or why Herbert Marcuse is considered a bogeyman by many conservatives, this book will hit the spot.

As a former Independent, lean liberal, Andrew Breitbart's Righteous Indignation started me on a journey in 2011 of trying to understand why Good People were suddenly Evil and Criminals were suddenly Good People. When I started reading America's Cultural Revolution, I had a sinking feeling it was already things I'd studied or learned.
And while it did have elements of history I'd learned, it did a very deep dive on the WHY's And HOW's and What To Do About the Leftist Ideas of splintering everything that we know in our hearts, heads, and experiences of what is good, right, and true.
While Breitbart's book was part memoir of his awakening from being a deep liberal to tracing the roots of the culture/political shift, Rufo's book is driven by history. No personal stories. NO propaganda (IE: you'll find no statements declaring Bill Ayers having crazy eyes, Angela Davis being nuts, etc).This book is written in TRUE journalism form, drawing on facts and not personal opinions.
A breath of fresh air in a market saturated with political books that inject personal bias/ideals.
It doesn't matter how much you understand the history of the Far Left (which is now basically the Left), you will learn new information in America's Cultural Revolution.
Extremely thankful that a corporate publisher is standing behind this book. We definitely need more books like this to keep discourse alive.
I am excited to handsell this, and hopefully get it into the hands of readers that have open minds.
