Book Reviews of Party of Defeat
Book Review: Very well done and supported exposition of how the left is attacking the nation
Summary: 5 Stars
This relatively slim volume is an important book. Its theme is "How Democrats and radicals unmdermined America's war on terror before and after 9-11" and delivers in full on that premise. "Party of Defeat" is not an apologia for President Bush, the Republican Party or the mishandling of the war in Iraq. Rather, its focus is on how prominent and not-so-prominent Democrats have marched largely in lockstep in a campaign to destroy the credibility of the United States, its miltary and President. Unstated is the reality that all this is done in the name of acheiving power at any price, even the sacrifice of the nation and its freedoms.
To the avid follower of news, world events and politics, nothing here will be new. The falsehoods and distortions of Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Gore, Schumer, Durbin, Carter and lesser-known Democrats are well known to the well informed. Likewise so are the deeds of Michael Moore, the New York Times and the Washington Post. For those who are knowledgeable, "Party of Defeat' is a well resourced (23 pages of notes) single volume reference to the left's most recent war against the United States. For those less familiar with the facts, "Party of Defeat" is a concentrated course in the truth, one that will wipe aside the misconceptions planted by the left-wing.
Horowitz and Johnson offer nothing that isn't supported by fact.
"Party of Defeat" is a powerful summary of the left's unrelenting war on the United States. Whether you're a news and politics junkie or not, it should be read.

Summary of Party of Defeat
A nation divided in wartime invites its own defeat. Yet that is precisely how America is facing the global war on terror. 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 be disastrous.In the fight against Islamic terrorists, America faces perennial questions that have become suddenly urgent: What is legitimate criticism of military policy in wartime? When does criticism cross the line and undermine the national interest? Democrats now routinely cross that line, Horowitz and Johnson show. Their candid and explosive reporting forces us to confront the consequences of these unprecedented attacks on the US war effort.
Examining the anti-war arguments of Democratic leaders like Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi, Party of Defeat reveals their fundamental misunderstanding of our enemy and an antipathy to the American cause going 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.
Yet the cowardice and neglect of the Carter and Clinton years pale in comparison with the Democrats defection from the war in Iraq a war they first authorized then abandoned. This betrayal of our forces in the field has opened, incredibly, a domestic front in our country s fight for survival against an enemy fanatically devoted to our extermination.
