Recommendations for Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against the Left


“In a superb analysis of the early American Left, Daniel Greenfield offers overwhelming evidence how the Left from the founding of the American republic opposed its emphasis on personal liberty and constitutional government. Our present struggle against wokism, global ism, utopianism, socialism, media bias, election rigging, racial essentialism, and the weaponization of government is hardly new. Greenfield shows how and why they were essential to the America Left and the Democratic Party from the very beginning. “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.”

“Great writers always lead you to see an issue in an entirely new light, and Daniel Greenfield is a great writer. His eye-opening analysis in Domestic Enemies, that America has several times in its history faced chal lenges from the Left that were startlingly similar to what we face, is as convincing as it is audacious and inno vative. Domestic Enemies is a marvelously original and enlightening look at American history, with a host of insights for our own age.”

"Daniel Greenfield’s new book Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, is an important and fascinating, fine-grained analysis of radical leftist influence and subversion in the United States since its beginning to the Civil War. With lively, clear writing, copious historical evidence new to most readers, and entertaining storytelling, Daniel Greenfield’s history of the left in America is a must-read, instructive revelation of how our oldest enemy has assaulted our country, and how to fight today’s attempts to transform it.”
