Overview

Michael Medved is an orthodox Jew whose popular radio show is a favorite with evangelical Christians. As a nationally syndicated movie reviewer he made headlines with a controversial book titled HOLLYWOOD VS. AMERICA. He is a fervent and committed conservative who once worked 18-hour days in Bobby Kennedy's presidential campaign. And he counts among his friends both Rush Limbaugh and Hillary Clinton. He is a unique man, with a unique story to tell. In RIGHT TURNS, Medved recounts his incredible journey from secularism to religion, from adventurous single man to devoted and doting husband and father, from gloomy critic of our sick society to optimistic and impassioned promoter of American patriotism. With conviction but without vitriol, he relates his sometimes painful but ultimately illuminating process of maturation. RIGHT TURNS is a candid, often funny, thoroughly captivating memoir that says a lot about the interplay of the personal and the political.

Right Turns tells the hugely entertaining, ultimately inspiring story of one leftist from the '60s who finally discovered--and liberated--his inner conservative. In the process, Michael Medved demonstrates why our side of the political divide has both better answers and more fun. His book is insightful, funny, powerful, and important. --Rush Limbaugh <br> Michael Medved provides an important and distinctive perspective on popular culture--fierce, fearless, funny, and formidable. --Mel Gibson <br> How does one go from liberal activist to conservative cultural critic? This accounting of Michael Medved's journey is eloquent, informative, challenging, moving, and downright fascinating. I learned a lot . . . you will too! --Dr. Laura Schlessinger <br> Michael Medved is a gifted communicator and an incisive cultural critic. His political and religious autobiography, Right Turns, is more than the communication of an idea or the analysis of our culture, however. It is an educational, entertaining, and deeply enlightening journey to intellectual maturity and reason. --William J. Bennett <br> Michael Medved is the liberals' worst nightmare--he knows their arguments, outlook, and eccentricities, having lived as one of them in his reckless youth. Unlike most Americans, Michael sat at their dinner tables and heard them speak honestly--since they didn't realize he'd rat them out someday. Having the goods on liberals allows him to destroy their arguments. Michael's own right turns have helped many Americans discover Right thinking, and this powerful, gripping book should win many more converts. --Ann Coulter <p> From the Hardcover edition.
