A provocative, intimate look at the evolution of America’s political soul through the lives of six political figures—from Whittaker Chambers to Christopher Hitchens—who abandoned the left and joined the right.
In Exit Right, Daniel Oppenheimer tells the stories of six major political figures whose journeys away from the left reshaped the contours of American politics in the twentieth century. By going deep into the minds of six apostates—Whittaker Chambers, James Burnham, Ronald Reagan, Norman Podhoretz, David Horowitz, and Christopher Hitchens—Oppenheimer offers an unusually intimate history of the American left, and the right’s reaction.
Oppenheimer is a brilliant new voice in political history who has woven together the past century’s most important movements into a single book that reveals the roots of American politics. Through the eyes of his six subjects, we see America grow, stumble, and forge ahead—from World War I up through the Great Depression and World War II, from the Red Scare up through the Civil Rights Movement, and from the birth of neoconservatism up through 9/11 and the dawn of the Iraq War.
At its core, Exit Right is a book that asks profound questions about why and how we come to believe politically at all—on the left or the right. Each of these six lives challenges us to ask where our own beliefs come from, and what it might take to change them. At a time of sky-high partisanship, Oppenheimer breaks down the boundaries that divide us and investigates the deeper origins of our politics. This is a book that will resonate with readers on the left and the right—as well as those stuck somewhere in the middle.

（）海无涯，回头是岸。
评分我很喜欢这本书叙述的方式。如此敏感的话题，作者却丝毫没有过激说教的口吻。此外要点名的是，作者本人支持的是左派，但在书里没有丝毫的个人倾向和个人情绪。每个人物都是有故事的，每段历程都是有原因转折的。中性、不辩护、但解释，在娓娓道来里。
评分相对枯燥的政治作品而言，可读性很强。第一个和最后一个人物最有意思。遗憾的是每个人物只写到他的转变就嘎然而止，如果能再多说一点，每个人物就更完美了。最后一个人物，作者带有感情色彩在其中，不够中立。
评分（）海无涯，回头是岸。
