Ben Shapiro's first book is as much a clarion call to America as it is a plea to his fellow students (he is a recent graduate of UCLA) to take a stand for biblical truth and to actively pursue non-conformist thought and actions. The author takes the reader on a guided tour through parts of the college sub-culture that have lain obscured for far too long. Now a nationally syndicated columnist, Shapiro exposes the smog of relativism, Marxism, reverse prejudice, and sexual license prevalent on many campuses. Copiously researched (31 pages of notes and an 8-page index), he also covers topics such as the high-profile homosexual agenda, anti-American sentiment (especially in the wake of 9/11), anti-Christian bias, and his own struggles with his college's paper, the UCLA Daily Bruin. While showing his obvious disgust for the current situation, he nonetheless applies his insider information to succinctly delineating the problem areas and forming pro-active solutions. |
