"Dinesh D'Souza knows what it's like to be a renegade conservative in a liberal culture. In Letters To A Young Conservative, he stakes out the conservative philosophy that made him the enfant terrible of the Reagan revolution and a best-selling author.".

"D'Souza shows that it is conservatives who uphold the classical "liberal" principles of the American Revolution: economic freedom, political freedom, and freedom of speech and religion. These freedoms, combined with a commitment to civic and social virtue, distinguish the conservative vision of what it means to lead a good and happy life.".

"But as a founder of the Dartmouth Review - a leading voice in the rebirth of conservative politics on college campuses in the 1980s - D'Souza knows that the young conservative must be the master of strategy as well as ideas. Drawing on his own colorful experiences, both within the conservative world and skirmishing with the left, D'Souza arms young conservatives with the weapons they will need to fight battles at work, college, school and in everyday life.

D'Souza challenges the conservative to expose liberal assumptions to scrutiny whenever possible; to become a kind of imaginative forward-looking guerilla - philosophically conservative, but temperamentally radical."--BOOK JACKET.
