Bradley A. Thayer: America's 100 Years' War, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Cold War never ended---because Communism was never defeated.

For more than a century, the United States has been locked in an ideological war most Americans do not perceive. In America's Hundred Years' War , Dr. Bradley A. Thayer argues that the struggle against Communism did not end with the fall of the Soviet Union---it evolved, spread, and embedded itself within American politics, institutions, and culture, and Western civilization.

Tracing the roots of modern political upheaval back to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Thayer contends that Leninism shaped not only the Soviet Union and Communist China, but also the ideological movements now transforming America from within. From the Comintern to the Chinese Communist Party, from Mao and Xi Jinping to George Soros and the progressivism of the modern Democratic Party, Thayer presents a sweeping reinterpretation of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as one continuous ideological conflict against Communism.

Blending Cold War history, geopolitical analysis, political theory, and cultural critique, America's Hundred Years' War examines the rise of Communist ideology abroad, its penetration into American institutions at home, and the growing battle over American identity, free speech, education, technology, and Western civilization itself. Thayer argues that the key to victory over Communism is a rebirth of American identity: the American spirit, political liberalism, and Western civilization.

Provocative, expansive, and unapologetically ideological, this book offers a stark warning about the future of America and a roadmap for those who believe the fight for the American experiment is far from over.
