  • Outlines of Sociology

    Open AccessLudwig Gumplowicz, Irving Louis HorowitzBOOKOutlines of Sociology2020Cited by: 3

    Two years ago I published some of my sociological investigations under the title of Der Rassenkampf; diffidently offering them as the “first lispings of a great science of the future, sociology.” The favorable reception accorded this work by competent authorities at home and abroad has encouraged me to present the following Outlines of Sociology. From the widespread attention accorded sociological problems it is evident that sociology is not an e…

  • The Revolt Against the Masses: And Other Essays on Politics and Public Policy

    Aaron Wildavsky, Irving Louis HorowitzBOOKThe Revolt Against the Masses2018

    "The author of this stunning set of essays on politics and public policy makes crystal clear the meaning of the title. "The revolutionaries of contemporary America do not seek to redistribute privilege from those who have it to those who do not. These radicals wish to arrange a transfer of power from those elites who now exercise it to another elite, namely themselves, who do not. This aspiring elite is of the same race (white), the same class (u…

  • Cuban Communism 1959-2003

    Irving Louis Horowitz, Jaime SuchlickiBOOKCuban Communism, 1959-20032018

    This new edition of a classic text has come to be known as bible of Cuban Studies. The 11th edition emphasizes transition concerns in a hemisphere without Castro, and more immediately, the continuing embargo of Cuba by the United States in the aftermath of a major change in the presidency. The nature of Cuban Communism has once again become a core issue for American people. Cuban Communism has been updated to take account of changes in the 44 yea…

  • Culture and Civilization: Volume 1, 2009

    Irving Louis Horowitz, Irving HorowitzBOOKCulture and Civilization2018

    "Intellectual activity in the twentieth century took place largely under the banner of science and society. As the new millennium develops, it is becoming evident that science and society are not words that represent an unmitigated good, nor for that matter, do they exhaust what is new in the human condition. Past writing on the theme of culture has emphasized the growth and expansion of human capabilities. Recent use of the term "civilization" h…

  • Assassin: Theory and Practice of Political Violence

    J Bowyer Bell, Irving Louis HorowitzBOOKAssassin2017

    Assassination as a political act has a long history, predating the murder of Julius Caesar and continuing into our own time. The murder of the mighty has long fascinated artists and rebels but only rarely has it been studied in a scholarly manner. In Assassin, J. Bowyer Bell combines existing historical evidence with years of personal interviews with terrorists in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The result is an incisive study of that enigma…

  • The Long Night of Dark Intent: A Half Century of Cuban Communism

    Irving Louis HorowitzBOOKLong Night of Dark Intent2017

    The Cuban Revolution of 1959 was a benchmark of triumph and a harbinger of tragedy to come. Rather than herald a new era of Cuba joining the world community of nations as a paragon of democracy as many fervently hoped and believed it would, it became instead a new stage in authoritarian rule in the Western hemisphere.For more than a half century since then Cuba has been defined by the capacity of a single family to command and determine the fate …

  • The Vital Center: The Politics of Freedom with a new introduction by the author

    Arthur M Schlesinger, Arthur Schlesinger et al.BOOKVital Center2017

    With a new introduction by the author, The Vital Center is an eloquent and incisive defense of liberal democracy against its rivals to the left and to the right, communism and fascism. It shows how the failures of free society had led to the mass escape from freedom and sharpened the appeal of totalitarian solutions. It calls for a radical reconstruction of the democratic faith based on a realistic understanding of human limitation and frailty

  • The life and death of project Camelot

    Irving Louis HorowitzCHAPTERSociological Methods2017Cited by: 9

    The United States Ambassador to Chile sent an urgent and angry cable to the State Department. Ambassador Ralph Dungan was confronted with a growing outburst of anti-Americanism from Chilean newspapers and intellectuals. The anti-American attacks that agitated Dungan had no direct connection with sending US troups to Santo Domingo. Their target was a mysterious and cloudy American research program called Project Camelot. Basically, Project Camelot…
