- catalog abstract ""In this memoir, Norman Podhoretz charts the ups and downs of his lifelong love affair with his native land, and warns that to turn against America, from the Right no less than from the Left, is to fall into the rankest ingratitude. While telling the story of how he himself grew up to be a fervent patriot, one of this country's leading conservative thinkers urges his fellow conservatives to rediscover and reclaim their faith in America." "Podhoretz takes us from his childhood as a working-class kid in Brooklyn during the Great Depression - the son of Jewish immigrants singing Catholic hymns in a public school staffed by Irish spinsters and duking it out on the streets with his black and Italian classmates - to his later education, his shifting political alliances, and his arrival at a happy personal and intellectual resolution." "My Love Affair with America presents a picture of someone eager to proclaim, against all comers, that America represents one of the high points in the history of human civilizations. Podhoretz pleads with his fellow conservatives not to fall, as some have lately done, into their own special brand of anti-Americanism, as he reminds them of the disastrous consequences that followed the assault by the New Left against the United States in decades gone by."--Jacket.".
