As historical analysis, America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything is poppycock. But it gives us a very instructive glimpse into the minds of America's right-wing intelligentsia and the people who generously fund them.

Author Christopher Rufo is a rising intellectual and ideologue of the American far right. Not yet 40, he is a regular on Fox News, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute — a right-wing think tank — and a contributing editor of its magazine, City Journal. He has also been appointed as a board member of New College of Florida, which Gov. Ron DeSantis is converting into a conservative school modelled after Hillsdale College in Michigan, where Rufo often speaks.

Now Rufo has published his first book, with more likely to follow.
