New Book: Jamie Glazov's "United in Hate"

My Front Page editor Jamie Glazov has a new book out titled United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror.

I'm currently reading it now and will be writing about it when I've completed it. Glazov has been the editor of Front Page for several years now. He also edited and wrote the introduction to Horowitz's Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey, an important compilation of Horowitz's work. Glazov's introduction to Left Illusions provides the best introduction to the themes of Horowitz's work available anywhere. (It's only drawback is that since it was written Horowitz has released eight more books.) Glazov also co-edited with Horowitz The Hate-America Left.

Glazov's new book offers a mindset into the far left. (See him discuss it here.) It asks why people who claim to support the progression of society would end up defending totalitarian regimes like Soviet Russia and Islamist groups like Hamas and Al Qaeda. Glazov builds on the themes of Horowitz's books and applies his Ph.D in history to provide a historical perspective. It also comes from his perspective as the son of two prominent Soviet dissidents. I'll have a more In Depth discussion of United In Hate soon.
