Dinesh D'Souza is an Indian immigrant who served as an author of the Dartmouth Review during his days at the college, and subsequently became a policy analyst for President Ronald Reagan. He is one of the leaders of modern intellectual conservatism, much to the ire of old Dartmouth alumni.
When I picked up "Letters to a Young Conservative", I described myself as a "skeptical conservative". I supported private industry, but also liked minimum wage; I supported tax cuts, but also wanted ... Read More

I am sympathetic to the cause he is promoting, ... Read More

I read this book. It is very interesting and very educational, no matter what side of the political isle your views lie on. Mr. D'Souza has the credentials to back up his claims, and he does so in a non-threatning, intelligent, engaging way.
And the best part? I actually sent him an email asking for a clarification on one of the chapters of the book (regarding same-sex marriage), and though I will leave you in suspense by not telling you what he told me (it would take too long here), I will ... Read More
