Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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.

- Exposes the Liars and Hypocrites
One of the book's most significant contributions to the task of combating disinformation is its straightforward case for the invasion of Iraq based on intelligence information that was available to Democratic leaders in 2003. In response to the "Bush lied and people died" rhetoric, which has supplanted political discourse these days, the authors dissect the hypocrisy of Democrats and the counterfeit logic of the far left.

It is undisputed that leading Democrats, including Clinton, Gore and Kerry, acknowledged before the war that Saddam Hussein posed a growing security threat to the West and advocated his removal. The rationale for the invasion is codified in the Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of U.S. Armed Forces Against Iraq, passed on October 22, 2002 (with 29 Democratic ... Read More

- WOW !!!
What an eye opening book about the people who would like to run this country. Amazing.

Rating:

- Very well done and supported exposition of how the left is attacking the nation
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, ... Read More

- Read this book in an air conditioned room
Once facts are established, it is difficult to perpetuate the myth of "clothes" when the Emperor is naked for all to see. Horowitz is not a spin-meister. He simply connects the dots. The resulting picture is capable of elevating the body temperature very quickly - - unless you choose to pretend the sun rotates around the earth or some such silly notion. You will not like this book if your norm is a knee-jerk reaction to anything which runs counter to programmed belief. The title is provocative to be certain and those who consider themselves "intellectual" may become defensive. Horowitz has an early history as a "radical" and thus a different perspective on events of today. It would be easy to couch this review in typical "culture wars" rhetoric but there is too much of that already from all sides. ... Read More

- Party of Defeat - Horowitz Nails It!
Extremely well written and includes pages and pages of references. In other words, this isn't a cheap shot at the Democrats...it is documented proof the lefties will continue their self-serving campaign at the expense of American's and our liberty. I would highly recommend this book to any American who is concerned with the direction our country may go in the November 2008 elections.
