Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller America’s top-rated cable news host offers his first book in ten years: a look at America’s fight against those who would reverse our tradition of freedom—a fight we can’t afford to lose in 2020. America is great for a reason. Built on principles of freedom, rugged individualism, and self-sufficiency, no country has ever accumulated more power and wealth, abused it less, or used that power more to advance the human condition. And yet, as America blossomed, leftwing radicalism and resentment festered beneath the surface, threatening to undermine democracy first in the sixties and now—more insidiously than ever—in the form of social justice warriors, the deep state, and compromised institutions like academia and the mainstream media. Our fate if we succumb to a Democratic victory in 2020? A big step toward full-blown socialism along with the economic dysfunction and social strife that are its hallmarks. With radical Democrats demanding the Green New Deal, socialized medicine, abortion on demand, open borders, abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and an end to free speech, our great nation will be fundamentally transformed beyond recognition. Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is but one generation away from extinction,” and his words have never rung truer. In Live Free or Die, Sean demonstrates why now is an All Hands on Deck moment to save the Republic. His solution is simple: if all you can do is vote, then vote. But if you can inform people of the truth, that’s even better. And the truth is that the future of American freedom rests on Donald Trump’s reelection.

Download or read book It Could Happen Here written by Bruce Judson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The severe economic downturn has been blamed on many things: deregulation, derivatives, greedy borrowers, negligent lenders. But could there be a deeper problem that is so severe, so long-lasting, and so dangerous that it makes these problems look like minor swerves in the road? Could we be facing an existential challenge to the promise of America, and to our system of government? Inequality in America has reached historical highs. Throughout human history, this level of disparity has proven intolerable, almost always leading to political upheaval. Though many believe that America will never face a second revolution, that our politics are stable, in It Could Happen Here, Yale School of Management senior faculty fellow Bruce Judson makes the case that revolution is a real possibility here, driven by a thirty-year, unprecedented rise of inequality through six presidencies, three Fed chairmen, three recessions, and many years of expansion. The last time inequality rivaled current levels was in 1928, just before the Crash and the Great Depression. Today we are in worse shape, divided into a tiny plutocracy of super-rich, on the one hand, and a fragile, indebted, unprotected "former middle class" on the other. As Judson shows, revolutions can occur suddenly, as happened with the Soviet Union's 1991 dissolution, and America today exhibits the central precursors to a collapse—extreme economic inequality and an increasingly impoverished middle class. He makes the most disturbing case yet for why our economics are leading us inevitably toward a devastating crisis.When Franklin Roosevelt faced a similar situa-tion, he was saved by World War II. This time, the conflict may be at home, not abroad.

Download or read book Unholy written by Sarah Posner and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In terrifying detail, Unholy illustrates how a vast network of white Christian nationalists plotted the authoritarian takeover of the American democratic system. There is no more timely book than this one.”—Janet Reitman, author of Inside Scientology Why did so many evangelicals turn out to vote for Donald Trump, a serial philanderer with questionable conservative credentials who seems to defy Christian values with his every utterance? To a reporter like Sarah Posner, who has been covering the religious right for decades, the answer turns out to be far more intuitive than one might think. In this taut inquiry, Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right to reveal how issues of race and xenophobia have always been at the movement’s core, and how religion often cloaked anxieties about perceived threats to a white, Christian America. Fueled by an antidemocratic impulse, and united by this narrative of reverse victimization, the religious right and the alt-right support a common agenda–and are actively using the erosion of democratic norms to roll back civil rights advances, stock the judiciary with hard-right judges, defang and deregulate federal agencies, and undermine the credibility of the free press. Increasingly, this formidable bloc is also forging ties with European far right groups, giving momentum to a truly global movement. Revelatory and engrossing, Unholy offers a deeper understanding of the ideological underpinnings and forces influencing the course of Republican politics. This is a book that must be read by anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.

Download or read book The Storm is Here written by Luke Mogelson and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Yorker's award-winning war correspondent returns to his own country to chronicle a story of mounting civic breakdown and violent disorder, in a vivid eyewitness narrative of revelatory explanatory power. 'This is a searing book, exquisitely reported, lyrically told, and so vivid it will make your heart stop-a dark journey into what ails America' Patrick Radden Keefe On the morning of January 6, a gallows was erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. A little after noon, as thousands of Trump supporters marched past the structure, some paused to climb its wooden steps and take pictures of the US Capitol framed within an oval noose. Up ahead, the dull thud of stun grenades could be heard, accompanied by bright flashes. Several people carried Confederate flags. Others had Tasers, baseball bats, bear spray, and truncheons. 'They need help!' a man shouted. 'It's us versus the cops!' No one seemed surprised by what was taking place. There was an eerie sense of inexorability, mixed with nervous hesitation. It reminded me of combat: the slightly shocked, almost bashful moment when bravado, fantasy, and training crash against reality. In early 2020, Luke Mogelson, who had been living in France and covering the Global War on Terrorism, returned home to report on the social discord that the pandemic was bringing to the fore in the US. Soon, he found himself embedded with militias descending on the Michigan state capitol. From there, the story swept him on to Minneapolis, then to Portland, and ultimately to Washington, D.C. His stories for The New Yorker were hailed as essential first drafts of history. They were just the tip of the iceberg. The Storm Is Here is the definitive eyewitness account of how--during a season of sickness, economic uncertainty, and violence--a large segment of Americans became convinced that they needed to rise up against dark forces plotting to take their country away from them, and then did just that. It builds month by month, through vivid depictions of events on the ground, from the onset of the pandemic to the attack on the US Capitol--during which Mogelson was in the Senate chamber with the insurrectionists--and its aftermath. Bravely reported and beautifully written, Mogelson's book follows the tradition of some of the essential chronicles of war and unrest of our time.

Download or read book America in 1857 written by Kenneth M. Stampp and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-30 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a year packed with unsettling events. The Panic of 1857 closed every bank in New York City, ruined thousands of businesses, and caused widespread unemployment among industrial workers. The Mormons in Utah Territory threatened rebellion when federal troops approached with a non-Mormon governor to replace Brigham Young. The Supreme Court outraged northern Republicans and abolitionists with the Dred Scott decision ("a breathtaking example of judicial activism"). And when a proslavery minority in Kansas Territory tried to foist a proslavery constitution on a large antislavery majority, President Buchanan reneged on a crucial commitment and supported the minority, a disastrous miscalculation which ultimately split the Democratic party in two. In America in 1857, eminent American historian Kenneth Stampp offers a sweeping narrative of this eventful year, covering all the major crises while providing readers with a vivid portrait of America at mid-century. Stampp gives us a fascinating account of the attempt by William Walker and his band of filibusters to conquer Nicaragua and make it a slave state, of crime and corruption, and of street riots by urban gangs such as New York's Dead Rabbits and Bowery Boys and Baltimore's Plug Uglies and Blood Tubs. But the focus continually returns to Kansas. He examines the outrageous political frauds perpetrated by proslavery Kansans, Buchanan's calamitous response and Stephen Douglas's break with the President (a rare event in American politics, a major party leader repudiating the president he helped elect), and the whirl of congressional votes and dramatic debates that led to a settlement humiliating to Buchanan--and devastating to the Democrats. 1857 marked a turning point, at which sectional conflict spun out of control and the country moved rapidly toward the final violent resolution in the Civil War. Stampp's intensely focused look at this pivotal year illuminates the forces at work and the mood of the nation as it plummeted toward disaster.

Book excerpt: Following a series of cataclysmic natural disasters in the space of just a few weeks, one-half of America plunges back into the Pioneer era. With no functioning economy, law or order, utilities, healthcare or food supplies, the population East of the Mississippi collapses into chaos. Half of America is now a devastated wasteland with millions dying, starving or fleeing to the West. To protect themselves against this flood of refugees, states West of the Mississippi use the river as a security barrier, creating a 'Berlin Wall' that divides America. Five years after what became known as 'The Collapse', the small community of French Creek in Kentucky has adjusted to 19th-century living. They have survived the worst. Or so they thought. Until a group of strangers appear and begin disrupting their peaceful community. Now forced to confront murderous coyotes who traffic desperate people across to the West, the inhabitants of French Creek are made to face some deadly alternatives. French Creek is a fast-paced thriller that invites the reader to consider the realities of a post-apocalyptic America. How would people manage if thrown back to a time before the conveniences of the 21st century? What would happen if half of the country turned its back on its fellow Americans? What would you do under these circumstances?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition, America’s Urban History now includes contemporary analysis of race, immigration, and cities under the Trump administration and has been fully updated with new scholarship on early urbanization, mass incarceration and cities, the Great Society, the diversification of the suburbs, and environmental justice. The United States is one of the most heavily urbanized places in the world, and its urban history is essential to understanding the fundamental narrative of American history. This book is an accessible overview of the history of American cities, including Indigenous settlements, colonial America, the American West, the postwar metropolis, and the present-day landscape of suburban sprawl and an urbanized population. It examines the ways in which urbanization is connected to divisions of society along the lines of race, class, and gender, but it also studies how cities have been sources of opportunity, hope, and success for individuals and the nation. Images, maps, tables, and a guide to further reading provide engaging accompaniment to illustrate key concepts and themes. Spanning centuries of America’s urban past, this book’s depth and insight make it an ideal text for students and scholars in urban studies and American history.

Download or read book American History Revised written by Seymour Morris, Jr. and published by Broadway Books. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “American History Revised is as informative as it is entertaining and humorous. Filled with irony, surprises, and long-hidden secrets, the book does more than revise American history, it reinvents it.”—James Bamford, bestselling author of The Puzzle Palace, Body of Secrets, and The Shadow Factory This spirited reexamination of American history delves into our past to expose hundreds of startling facts that never made it into the textbooks, and highlights how little-known peopleand events played surprisingly influential roles in the great American story. We tend to think of history as settled, set in stone, but American History Revised reveals a past that is filled with ironies, surprises, and misconceptions. Living abroad for twelve years gave author Seymour Morris Jr. the opportunity to view his country as an outsider and compelled him to examine American history from a fresh perspective. As Morris colorfully illustrates through the 200 historical vignettes that make up this book, much of our nation’s past is quite different—and far more remarkable—than we thought. We discover that: • In the 1950s Ford was approached by two Japanese companies begging for a joint venture. Ford declined their offers, calling them makers of “tin cars.” The two companies were Toyota and Nissan. • Eleanor Roosevelt and most women’s groups opposed the Equal Rights Amendment forbidding gender discrimination. • The two generals who ended the Civil War weren’t Grant and Lee. • The #1 bestselling American book of all time was written in one day. • The Dutch made a bad investment buying Manhattan for $24. • Two young girls aimed someday to become First Lady—and succeeded. • Three times, a private financier saved the United States from bankruptcy. Organized into ten thematic chapters, American History Revised plumbs American history’s numerous inconsistencies, twists, and turns to make it come alive again.

Download or read book America on the Brink written by Patricia Burns and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Title: AMERICA ON THE BRINK... was chosen to call attention to the deterioration that has nearly cost us our Democracy. Some of the reasons are given in the division of points that have been made in this book. They include Leaders and Leadership, referring first of all to the current makeup of both houses of Congress, whose history will go down as one of the most destructive on record, to date. The makeup of this Congress is riddled with corrupt members that have been paid by the Koch brothers, who own the second largest private enterprise. The Koch brothers, empire started 80 years ago, when their grandfather Harry Koch moved to America, from the Netherlands and settled in a remote area in Texas. In 2014, Rolling Stone magazine printed the story under the title: "Inside The Koch Toxic Empire." The story moves on as they describe the Koch history. The chief goal of the empire as it grew, was to make money. Under Harry the company expanded rapidly by investing in a wide variety of businesses, including the railroad and oil. It grew larger when Fred Koch, son of Harry earned two Ph.D. degrees in engineering and invented the process know as fracking, a method of getting oil from shallow drilling. The process was very well excepted, as it was far less expensive way of getting oil quickly. Fred was now an integral part of the company. Even though they had not been in business for a very long time, the company and its assets were tied up in court because of bad business practices. Cash was needed. Fred was inventive also in finding new sources for income. Joseph Stalin became the new leader in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution. He started reforming the country by five year plans. Fred contacted him and an agreement was made to build 15 of these units that were included in the first five year plan, in the 1920's. Fred did not go to Russia at the outset of this contract and the work progressed. Some years later he went to Russia and was shocked of what he saw of the country and its people. This new regime had reduce their people to their lowest levels. Fred canceled their contract, but before leaving gave Stalin the information for making these units. Fred came back to America, then in 1934 went to Germany and built the third largest oil industry for Adolph Hitler, which help to supply the much needed oil used in World War II. The other element that helped to shred our Democracy, was aided by the insidious infiltration of our whole structure by Communism. In the early 1960's a Senator Joseph McCarthy started a witch hunt for "those commies." His hate campaign lasted for over three years, before it came to an end, devastating thousands of lives in the process. One of the results of this period was that the use of the word Communist was dropped and replaced with Socialist, which now has common use. The Korean War, President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert "Bobby" all shot down. Nixon Impeached, pardoned by President Ford, the Regan years, George H. W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, George W. Bush, bombing of the twin towers in New York City, then the Iraq war, Obama who Senator Mitch McConnell vowed would not see a second term. Now end of a second term and the vote for the next President with the Republican contender Donald Trump, that was said recently to be the "worst candidate for President, since the founding of our country, 240 years ago. This election is the most critical since the Civil War, 148 years ago. Will it be an oligarchy with a few at the top, Communism that has been very active since its inception and have "duped" most Americans, or will Our Democracy be Restored? The system we chose will be answered on November 8 2016, election day. The vote is in your hands America. Vote Your Moral Conscience. Will we live under a dictatorship or regain our values of a moral and ethical freedom under the Guidance from the Creator of All? Make the right choice America.
