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.

 Puts Iraq into perspective July 20, 2008
Intelligence failures, doctored intelligence, spin, lies, deception, are but some of the charges leveled by the hysterical, emotional, left, and the media. Facts and history are obscured by rhetoric. Little wonder Americans and the world are confused.
Horowitz and Johnson slice through the fog of deception like a laser. Facts, timelines, and historical events are used to debunk much, if not all of the propaganda swirling around the November elections. Little wonder that some readers (assuming that they did read PARTY OF DEFEAT) have posted one star reviews, containing rants instead of valid criticism.
PARTY OF DEFEAT is a must read for all Americans planning to vote. Facts are facts, regardless how they contradict political positions and preconceived ideas.

Democrats Exposed Again by Horowitz June 22, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The left has always had a hard time with Horowitz since he was one of their own in the sixties. His Jewish parents were communists and he himself was a proponent of Marxism at a younger and less mature age. As he matured he recognized the inconsistencies and failing policies of the left demonstrated not only by North Korea, East Germany, the former Soviet Union and other failed communistic/socialistic societies but even those currently being pushed by people as contemporary as Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
This book exposes the true hard left core of the Democratic party and why it's positions on Iraq and most other political issues are a minimum of ineffective but more likely destructive to the country. The incredible and inspiring success of the USA is the freedom that it allows it's citizens to be the best they can be. Under Marxism or Socialism the power belongs to the bureaucrats and they will tell you what you should be and where you should live.
Central planning (read nationalized healthcare, oil, etc.) has never worked and will never work. Democrats believe in big government - Republicans, Libertarians, and most Independents believe in the individual. This difference in political philosophy is why the Democratic Party is not just the Party of Defeat but the party to be defeated.
A Wake-up Call for America June 19, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Americans who care about the future of our country and the future of freedom in the democracies of the world must read Party of Defeat by Horowitz and Johnson. The book follows the events leading up to the War on Terror and the events that followed. The authors prove with hard evidence and meticulous documentation that the War in Iraq was a necessary war and one that was supported by Democrats and Republican and most Democracies around the globe.
The authors show though exact quotes and voting records how the Democrats in congress have undermined America's ability to win the war from the first few weeks into the conflict. The President and Commander in Chief has been under relentless attacks from the Democrats and their sympathizers in the main stream media. They show how the Democrats have provided our enemies with enormous propaganda to hurt America's standing in the world, and how their words and actions have demonized our military.
Our freedom is a fragile thing that has been paid for by the lives of countless men and women over the years since the nations founding. Islamic extremists do not believe in human freedom and their goal is to establish a religious caliphate and spread radical Islam around the world. Democrats think that to abandon Iraq and bring our soldiers home will be the end of the war. All you have to do to realize this will not happen is to listen to the words of our enemies. War will be brought to American soil and nothing will stop the radicals from pursuing their goal of world domination.
America must wake up to this threat. Every great civilization has eventually been brought down by barbarians who have no respect for life or freedom. Will we leave Iraq to these barbarians? Will we let the radicals grow stronger until they have nuclear bombs? The Iranian President has threatened to wipe Israel off the map and to do the same to America whom he calls the big Satan. These radicals are haters and if given the chance will kill anyone who does not agree with them.
The Party of Defeat is the most important book of 2008 and every American should read it and then decide which political party will protect this country and which one will surrender to the terrorists.
Brilliant, Concise, and Cogent... June 19, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
In this thoroughly researched and heavily footnoted book, Horowitz and Johnson set forth and explicate with exacting precision the relentless campaign the American Left and the Democratic Party have pursued to discredit George W. Bush and the War on Islamic Fascism. Unfortunately many, if not most Americans have forgotten the details of how the Democrats and the Left have undermined our country's response to Islamic radicals beginning with the Carter administration.
The authors clearly organize their thesis into 5 sections: The Path to 9-11, The Response to 9-11, Why America Went to War, The War Against the War, and Conclusion. They demonstrate with unassailable factual narrative how Presidents Carter and Clinton, in concert with an anti-war leftist establishment and willing accomplices both in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party refused to confront our enemies, leading inexorably to the 9-11 attacks.
This was itself inexcusable, but it was unfortunately only a prelude to the shocking and unprecedented betrayal of our forces in the field - first in Afghanistan, then in Iraq. The Democrats first voted to authorize military action in Iraq using the same intelligence information the President had at his disposal, and then not only rescinded their support of our military while they were actively engaged in battle, but launched a full-scale political attack on their commander-in-chief, branding him a liar and a war criminal. This despicable and treasonous behavior has fractured America's resolve, damaged our troops' morale, and weakened the President's ability to prosecute the war. Top-ranking Democratic leaders have demonstrated by their statements and actions that they fail utterly to understand the nature of this war and its implications.
Every American owes it to themselves to become familiar with this material so that they can combat the misinformation campaign being waged internally - if unwittingly by some - on behalf of our enemies. Horowitz and Johnson have produced a tour de force analysis of what is quite possibly the most serious political betrayal in American history.

A must for every American to read. It gives in detail just what is happening in our country and who is responsible for this happening.
This book should be a standard reading for all High School Students
across our land.
