Why Are Jews Liberals? (Paperback)

From the bestselling author of "World War IV," a brilliant investigation of a central question in American politics and culture.
During his career as a neoconservative thinker, Norman Podhoretz has been asked no question more often than "Why are so many Jews liberals?" In this provocative book he sets out to solve this puzzle. He first offers a fascinating account of anti-Semitism in the West to show the historical roots of Jewish mistrust of the right. But, Podhoretz argues, since the Six Day War of 1967 Jewish allegiance to the left no longer makes sense, and yet most Jews continue supporting the Democratic Party and the liberal agenda. Reviewing the history of Jewish political attitudes and examining the available evidence, Podhoretz argues against the conventional explanations for Jewish liberalism--finally proposing his own.
