About this title: The best-selling enfant terrible of the Reagan revolution offers advice to today's budding conservatives--the very people he sees as the true "radicals" of tomorrow. Dinesh D'Souza rose to national prominence as one of the founders of the Dartmouth Review, a leading voice in the rebirth of conservative politics on college campuses in the 1980s. He fired the first popular shot against political correctness with his best-selling expos Illiberal Education. Now, after serving as a Reagan White House staffer, the managing editor of Policy Review, and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute ...

"I never knew Dinesh D'Souza had such a marvelous sense of humor, but Letters to a Young Conservative really highlights how funny he can be. I really respect D'Souza's veiws on how much opportunity there exists in America for anyone who tries, because he immigrated to America from India in 1973.
Letters to a Young Conservative is a small book packed with some great topics. D'Souza touches on subjects from affirmative action to feminism to the self-esteem hoax that actually causes people to under perform in the workplace and in their personal lives.
This book and D'Souza's other books--I highly recommend What's So Great about America--lay out the groundwork for a successful conservative movement in America."
"Funny and entertaining advice on how to remain a conservative in the looney left indoctrination camps we call colleges. D'Souza is a bright guy who adds a touch of humor to what it means to be a conservative.
He suggests that conservatives fight against "political correctness", which is actually an attempt at thought control. Certain supposedly elite schools actually made it a punishable offense to laugh at someone. They called it "inappropriately directed laughter". D'Souza suggests that people fight this nonsense by exposing the intellectual emptiness of many liberal positions. He recommends publishing a journal entitled "Feminist Thought" full of nothing but blank pages. He also recommends putting a Maya Angelou poem in the middle of a bunch of drivel to see if anyone can tell the difference.
There was a discussion in the late 80's about whether or not those with AIDS should be forced to wear some sort of identification to try to slow the spread of the deadly disease. The Dartmouth Review, a conservative student newspaper, took suggestions as to what the identification should be. One conservative professor recommended they get their butts tattooed with the words from the sign above Dante's gate to hell in The Inferno: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here. Hilarious!"
