"Brash, funny, fiery, and irreverent." -- Rush Limbaugh
Known for his network of conservative websites that draws millions of readers everyday, Andrew Breitbart has one main goal: to make sure the "liberally biased" major news outlets in this country cover all aspects of a story fairly. Breitbart is convinced that too many national stories are slanted by the news media in an unfair way.
In Righteous Indignations, Breitbart talks about how one needs to deal with the liberal news world head on. Along the way, he details his early years, working with Matt Drudge, the Huffington Post, and how Breitbart developed his unique style of launching key websites to help get the word out to conservatives all over.
A rollicking and controversial read, Breitbart will certainly raise your blood pressure, one way or another.

"Loving this book..it is written just the way Brietbart presents himself! I was kind of concerned at first that it was going to be a political "memoir" but nothing is further than the truth. Normally, political books, from all sides, have been getting lower scores from me because there is nothing new and different and each is about how the other side stinks...this book actually came out with new things that I had never even heard of before."

“The inspired will likely find a call to action that includes advertisement for the author’s websites. But everyone will be able to agree that ‘These are the years that we will look back on and question whether we did enough for our country and for our children.’”
— Publishers Weekly" Very enjoyable, very interesting. A good romp through his world and his development, which was similar in some way to mine. It's a good taste and something I recommend as a first 'conservative book' to get you started on where to go from there. Highly recommended "
— Loren, 2/20/2014" Excellent read. An insightful details that is very eye opening. Nice solid read that is brisk and enjoyable. "
— Robert, 2/5/2014" I liked it- but it turns out I like to listen to talk radio, not read it. "
— Kristi, 1/30/2014" didn't know much about breitbart before i read this and kind of just picked it up on a whim, because i knew he had died recently . . not totally fair, of course, but a very interesting read . . i especially enjoyed his foray in the middle of the book into marxism, how it got into american academia, etc. . .and his media savvy also led to some interesting parts, esp. the *rules for radicals* bit, etc. . . his position as a media "insider"--esp. a new media insider--definitely makes him qualified to talk about those kinds of things and it's cool that he can not only talk through the way media strategies and events play out, but actually describe examples he was involved in . . kind of stuff you would've guessed anyway--like that certain news items are timed to release in relation to other things--but this book sort of "proves" and illuminates that kind of thing . . as i said, not fair (in the sense that plenty of the issues he takes with the left could also probably be taken with the right), but he's a "culture warrior," so that's how it works . . pick a target, hit it, stick to the narrative, etc. . . i don't like that stuff when it's so black-and-white, because i know stuff like that isn't ever so simple and that people aren't being totally honest, just playing the game, but it's at least entertaining if you keep in mind what it really is . . "
— Matt, 1/27/2014" A little egocentric but a good informative read. Good tactical advise to combat the underhanded and unscrupulous far left agenda pushers, Marxists and globalists. "
— Chuck, 1/21/2014" Current events and politics. Interesting our different interests, huh? This is a great book on the media - old and new - history, the culture war we're in, stories, and how to make a difference and stand up for our country. "
— Teri, 12/24/2013" His brief history on American Progressivism (including a condensed synopsis of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals) and how to counter it using New Media makes the book worthwhile. "
— Jeremy, 12/17/2013" Very interesting book to read and how the left has control the media for decades. This book will inspired people how to deal with the left media. "
— Gus, 12/3/2013" Loved, loved, loved this book. I'm even more upset that Andrew died too young and far too soon. "
— Athena, 11/5/2013" I have heard Glenn talk about Sal Alinsky many times but I did not understand him or his tactics until reading this book. Breitbart is very smart and can see the whole political picture, then put it in terms that I can understand. A very good read. "
— Marie, 10/19/2013" Definitely enjoyed it. Very amusing reading the stories of how the epic ACORN and Weinergate takedowns took place behind the scenes. Sad to see him go. "
— Paul, 10/11/2013" I had no expectations of what I would find in this book, and was I ever happily surprised! Part autobiography, part political history, part manifesto, I found this book incredibly hard to put down. And that's saying a lot for a political book, in my experience. Highly recommended. "
— Jeff, 9/20/2013" Interesting book. He was a hard living kid until he found Conservatism. Too bad he died so young. He had the guts to stand up to liberals. Wish there were more willing to stick their necks out like he did. Biggest complaint about the book was the profanity. "
— Granny, 9/11/2013" Excellent Book. I read shortly before he died unexpectedly. "
— Neal, 9/7/2013" Read Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" to clarify and cement your conservative principles. Then read this book to learn how to put your principles into action! This book is a real-life guidebook to the political mean streets. "
— Jen, 8/8/2013" Breitbart was a true visionary. This book is amazing. Its a shame his life was taken to early. We could still use him down here fighting for us all. He had the courage and the vision. He will be missed. "
— Wes, 4/13/2013" Up until I read this book, I thought Andrew Breitbart was just a weirdo who made appearances on Redeye once and a while. Before I was even done reading the book I realized that Breitbart was actually pretty damn smart. It's too bad he died, because his brilliance was unmatched. "
— Edward, 11/5/2012" I didn't have high expectations for this book but I really enjoyed it. "
— Kevin, 10/20/2012" Very enlightening! Gives a clear description of what has happened to our media and how it shapes our political landscape. Thank goodness the "new media", via blogs, cable tv, internet, etc. have shed light on the shady practices of the past and present. "
— Cherie, 9/20/2012" this guys a jerk. and i love him. "
— Tom, 3/1/2012" I love Andrew Breitbart! He's hilarious, but very serious about what he wants to accomplish. He includes a brief history of the progressive movement which is quite interesting and illuminating. "
— Leiann, 2/28/2012" Great book. Breitbart attacks the Old Media/Democrat Complex controlling news and information but which shortcomings have given rise to the New Media (talk radio, Fox, and internet.) His book dismantles the Complex and exposes the cultural Marxism at the heart of progressive politics. "
— Frederick, 10/31/2011" Too many hyperbolic analogies and an arrogant sense of self-importance. The writing itself is poor. "
— Klara, 6/25/2011" A fascinating look inside the media political machine. Do NOT miss this one! "
— LuAnn, 6/4/2011" Politics aside, it wasn't a good read. Unmotivating and disenchanting, this book suceeds in revealing the motivations of a political gunslinger of the New Media, but i won't be recommending it to others for much more than that. "
— John, 5/29/2011" Very enlightening! Gives a clear description of what has happened to our media and how it shapes our political landscape. Thank goodness the "new media", via blogs, cable tv, internet, etc. have shed light on the shady practices of the past and present. "
— Cherie, 5/17/2011" Absolutely a great book. Chapter 6, Breakthrough, is worth the price alone. In that chapter, Breitbart gives a nice history lesson on Progressivism in the media. The entire book is a great call-to-arms for conservatives to fight against the liberal-biased media. High recommendation! "
— Eric, 5/16/2011" I have heard Glenn talk about Sal Alinsky many times but I did not understand him or his tactics until reading this book. Breitbart is very smart and can see the whole political picture, then put it in terms that I can understand. A very good read. "
— Marie, 5/6/2011" Very enjoyable, very interesting. A good romp through his world and his development, which was similar in some way to mine. It's a good taste and something I recommend as a first 'conservative book' to get you started on where to go from there. Highly recommended "

— Teri, 4/28/2011" This book surprised me -- it was much better than I thought it would be. Thoughtful rabble rousing -- not the bad kind. Read this on Kindle. "
— Douglas, 4/28/2011" the book is interesting, biased towards what the author believes. its a good book to understand other political views, I do agree with him about the media. "
