Editorial Review(s)

"Horowitz and his contributors assert that the liberal faith in militant anti-communism rests on myths about the world, and that these myths in turn rest on the 'real forces' of the American economy and society.  Their interpretation of our history shatters any complaceny that we may still entertain about the effect of American policy on the movement of the underdeveloped nations toward social justice." —Rand Rosenblatt, The New Journal

"Containment and Revolution is a collection of seven excellent research essays on the cold war, edited by David Horowitz, a young writer who already has a remarkable publishing record." —D.F. Fleming, The Nation
