In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and
Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case
for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and
documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years
parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th
century’s worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia,
China, and Chile. The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and
speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about
the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties.
In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face
the way our free America is under assault. She warns us–with
the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas
Paine’s revolutionary pamphlets–that we have little time to
lose if our children are to live in real freedom. “Recent history has profound lessons for us in the U.S.
today about how fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive
leaders seize and maintain power, especially in what were
once democracies. The secret is that these leaders all tend
to take very similar, parallel steps. The Founders of this
nation were so deeply familiar with tyranny and the habits
and practices of tyrants that they set up our checks and
balances precisely out of fear of what is unfolding today.
We are seeing these same kinds of tactics now closing down
freedoms in America, turning our nation into something that
in the near future could be quite other than the open
society in which we grew up and learned to love liberty,”
states Wolf. Wolf is taking her message directly to the American people
in the most accessible form and as part of a large national
campaign to reach out to ordinary Americans about the
dangers we face today. This includes a lecture and speaking
tour, and being part of the nascent American Freedom
Campaign, a grassroots efforts to ensure that presidential
candidates pledge to uphold the constitution and protect our
liberties from further erosion. The End of America will shock, enrage, and motivate–spurring
us to act, as the Founders would have counted on us to do in
a time such as this, as rebels and patriots–to save our
liberty and defend our nation.
