Party of defeat

"A nation divided in wartime invites its own defeat. Yet that is precisely how America is facing the global war on tenor. In a brutally honest assessment, David Horowitz and Ben Johnson show that the American left, led by the Democratic Party, is waging a ferocious political war against its own government that has left our country more seriously divided than at any time since the Civil War. And the consequences could he disastrous."

"Examining the anti-war arguments of Democratic leaders like Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi, Party of Defeat reveals their fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of our enemy and the war itself. Horowitz and Johnson trace this antipathy to the American cause back to Vietnam. As radical Islam emerged in the 1970s, it found an ally in a left-wing establishment now thoroughly conditioned to blame America first. Our failure to confront the religious thugs who humiliated us in Iran encouraged the increasingly aggressive - and deadly - Islamist movement that eventually drew us into full-scale war."--Jacket.
