This is the first biography of the Jewish-American intellectual
Norman Podhoretz, long-time editor of the influential magazine
Commentary. As both an editor and a writer, he spearheaded the
countercultural revolution of the 1960s and - after he 'broke
ranks' - the neoconservative response. For years he defined what
was at stake in the struggle against communism; recently he has
nerved America for a new struggle against jihadist Islam; always he
has given substance to debates over the function of religion,
ethics, and the arts in our society. The turning point of his life
occurred, at the age of forty near a farmhouse in upstate New York,
in a mystic clarification. It compelled him to 'unlearn' much that
he had earlier been taught to value, and it also made him enemies.
Revealing the private as well as the public man, Thomas L. Jeffers
chronicles a heroically coherent life.
