BOOK DESCRIPTION
According to Jonah Goldberg, if the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, the greatest trick liberals ever pulled was convincing themselves that they’re not ideological.
Today, “objective” journalists, academics and “moderate” politicians peddle some of the most radical arguments by hiding them in homespun aphorisms.
With humor and passion, Goldberg dismantles these and many other Trojan Horses that liberals use to cheat in the war of ideas.

-SENATOR MARCO RUBIO (R-FL)
"Jonah Goldberg reveals how we've become trapped by ideas we think we understand but don't. A must read."
