From left-wing activist in Montreal and Toronto to Conservative Party campaigner in Ottawa, Fred Litwin tells a captivating coming-out story that will delight and upset right-wingers and progressives alike. There is intrigue with the Iranian embassy, a fiercely critical examination of the gay establishment in Canada, an exposé of the politics driving senior CBC managers, and a behind-the-scenes look at the conservative movements nasty and shadowy counter-jihad subculture. And a lot more.

Praise for Conservative Confidential

This is a deeply personal and worthy book that gives real meaning to the word courage. Fred Litwin writes with humour and compassion about the most difficult and divisive issues in the post-9/11 world. He shows how a whole category of people Muslims - and their religion Islam are being vilified as once Jews and their faith were vilified. Friendship with Litwin has greatly enriched my life.

- Salim Mansur, author of Delectable Lie: A Liberal Repudiation of Multiculturalism

Fred Litwin has written a very interesting and revealing account of the swirling cultural and political currents around Ottawas media, academic, and political communities. This is an important contribution to a better understanding of the layers of activity that immediately surround and inhabit the federal government. It is a very good read.

- Conrad Black, columnist for the National Post and author of Rise to Greatness: The History of Canada from the Vikings to the Present

Fred Litwins crisp and lively Conservative Confidential bravely beats against the currents of political correctness on the thorniest of topics. In particular, the books in-depth analysis sheds an illuminating light on the intellectual sources of queer activism, fissures within the gay community, the myth of the Conservative War on Homos and the left-wing gay establishments betrayal of the international gay community.
- Barbara Kay, columnist for the National Post

An eloquent mix of the personal and the global. . . Fred Litwins first-hand account of tensions between anti-Islamism sophisticates and anti-Islam simpletons is a small gem.
- Daniel Pipes, Director of the Middle East Forum, publisher of its Middle East Quarterly

My unlikely friendship with Fred Litwin began long before he asked me to lend a hand in the editing of this book, and my regard for his integrity and his honesty only deepened as the chapters came in. Like Litwin himself, Conservative Confidential defies easy classification. Its a captivating memoir, but at the same time a meticulously-researched work of journalism and serious analysis, written by a gifted storyteller.
- Terry Glavin, columnist for the Ottawa Citizen and the National Post
