It traces the pattern back through the French Revolution, which it presents as orchestrated by Lord Shelburne, Jeremy Bentham and Jacques Necker, through Lord Palmerston’s use of Giuseppe Mazzini and Karl Marx, and the 1917 Russian Revolution. It closes with the Congress for Cultural Freedom, Daniel Bell’s post-industrial society, Herbert Marcuse and the “long march through the institutions,” arguing that winning the culture war means understanding the American culture under attack.
