Robert H. Bork sounds a very sobering alarm. We can accept our fate and try to insulate ourselves from the effects of a degenerating culture, or we can choose to halt the beast, to oppose modern liberalism in every arena. In the view of Robert Bork, an understanding of our problem and the will to resist may be our only hope.
"A brilliant and alarming exploration of the dark side of contemporary American culture. Robert Bork has done an important and good deed."
—Dr. William J. Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues
"Starkly honest and powerfully persuasive." —Don Feder, Boston Herald
