"A concise and lucid account of the little-known, but extremely important history of today’s American Left — and why it was and is so dangerous.” —Victor Davis Hanson, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Dying Citizen
For 20 years, Daniel Greenfield has been a respected reporter and columnist, well known across the conservative world. Through his close association with Freedom Center founder David Horowitz, Greenfield has applied a critical eye to the hypocrisies and destructive schemes of the Left. In his long-anticipated first book, Greenfield's research led him to a startling conclusion: that the Left has been trying to destroy America from our very founding, using much of the same tactics as today.
The Left was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies. Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning.
Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who—even two centuries ago—were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination. From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of a century of forgotten struggles between America’s greatest heroes—such as Washington, Hamilton, Davy Crockett, and Abraham Lincoln—and radical villains like Aaron Burr.
