The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party
America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party.

Albeit this is a dated book, since Hillary Clinton is in the title, it is the Rosetta Stone to those who wish to understand how the Democrat Party has been suborned to radicalism and just who is behind it all.

This is "in it's way" an excellent book. There will be those who will, disagree with some of the conclusions drawn and the case that is made, only to be expected. But I'd say it's a book worth reading and considering. The book goes back a few years and things have grown in the direction looked for in the volume more than changed. it predates the present president so some of the players have shifted in importance a bit, but the "main" player the book is concerned about is still very much on the w

I've been fascinated by David Horowitz because he WAS a sixties radical. He's well-read and articulate, and I actually planned to read his autobiography first, "Radical Son." But the name of this one caught my eye, and I'm glad I read it. It's an eye-opening book about the under currents of radicalism that are at work in the Democratic party. The book is rational, extremely well documented, and a fascinating look at someone who might possibly be even more pathologically narcissistic than Obama -

It is not a political party per se, and it works outside of the normal electoral system, and its goals are not explicitly disclosed.

There's always more than just one person that makes one's decisions in politics. I understood quite well what Horowitz was expressing about the Democrats, I'm not affiliated with either party, so it was easy for me too read this with an unbiased view. My point with that statement was to say it was well written. Aside from that, I personally believe we can get dirt on anyone or any aspect in politics, because everyone has their own view on how things ought to be done in America, or anywhere in th

The organization and writing of the book isn't perfect, but the information is invaluable. The authors discuss how George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and other subversive operatives have transformed the traditional Democratic party into an extreme Left-wing, Progressive political machine using groups like ACORN, Center for American Progress, and others. Their next focus: a global "open society". I thought the authors did a great job of explaining the motives of Soros, a point many journalists often

My dad asked me to read this book because I didn't seem to agree with him that Obama was a "wolf in sheep's clothing". The book seems rife with conspiracy theory; it talks about some "shadow party" that is controlling the liberal establishment through what they depict as the liberal extremist George Soros. They create some loose connections between some extreme liberal activist in the 60s and 70s with Soros and his philanthropic organizations, and try to make the point that he is controlling the

This book is somewhat dated. Describes the relationship between Hilary Clinton and George Soros, and the plans together of these progressives to take control of the Democratic Party. The material is anecdotal for many conservatives and would be enlightening to old school Democrats regarding who actually controls the Democratic Party and the underlying values they espouse; values most rank and file Democrats would not adopt outside pure partisanship.
I was hoping for a well-executed, well-researched, balanced and pragmatic look at the facts and ideas. What I got was poorly-written, baseless propaganda. I have no particular love or favor for Hillary Clinton or George Soros, but even the way this is presented is sophomoric.
"Any journalist who has studied Soros with sufficient attentiveness has learned to greet his public utterances with an ounce of skepticism."
How wonderfully obtuse!

Reinforced what I already knew of the Democratic Party. It has changed over the years and no longer are the "blue dog democrats" in office. It is represented by radicals that want to change the constitution and are not looking to support ALL of the people. Only the "group of the day". I found the book interesting, but slow to read at times. Gave it a 4 because this is a presidential election year and think it is a good read to be informed on the other side of politics.
This book should be required reading for anyone, especially college students, concerned about the fate of our country. Our freedom may depend upon it. This is no conspiracy theory. George Soros and the far left liberals, communists and socialists are working to destroy America. Today's Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party of our parents. My father, a life long Democrat, would not recognize today's Democratic Party.
This book explains and puts in context many recent national and international events and the ultimate goals of those who are directing them. The scale of this "organization" is daunting, and Horowitz and Poe have served a valuable purpose in pulling back the curtain: exposing these people is probably the only way to stop them. A valuable but not very happy read.
Everyone who cares at all about the the financing of political machines by those bent on controlling the pace of the move toward a global redistribution of wealth should read this book. It was published before the 2008 US elections, and the groups who have been exposed as major influences since then are included. David Horowitz and Richard Poe did a masterful job.
One can only conclude that Geo. Soros is an evil man. He has ruined what good was in the Democratic party and the unions. Soros had AFL-CIO Pres. Kirkland ousted after Kirkland assisted Walesa in bringing down the communist oppression of the Polish shipyard workers. Book outlines Harold Ickes mob & Hillary connections.
Man, did HE nail it. This was written before the rise of Barack Obama, but you now see so much of what Horowitz predicted has come true. It was meant as a warning of things to come. Now it reads like a history book.
Good info. Lots of connected dots that the liberal propaganda machine will never reveal and will do anything to hide. Writing style itself is just mediocre. Eye opener.
Very Authoritatively Footnoted
Highly read recommend this book. certainly tells a story about how we got here, politically. Worthy read and I could only wish it was a "story".

I would recommend this book to any Progressive (ie. Democrat) that is interested in what has become of his party
Fantastic account of how Soros either a) created his own organizations or b) infiltrated existing organizations (see Common Cause). Amazing.
Excellent description of who and who's policies and beliefs control the Obama's presidency and current Democratic party. A must read for anyone who cares about freedom.
I expected more out of David Horwitz book. Although, it was a good read, I wouldn't call it great. Plus, it was dry in parts.
