A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! A growing number of Americans want to
tear down what it's taken us 250 years to build-and they'll start
by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture. Traditional
areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can't agree on what
makes America special. We can't even agree that America is special.
We're coming to the point that we can't even agree what the word
America itself means. "Disintegrationists" say we're stronger
together, but their assault on America's history, philosophy, and
culture will only tear us apart. Who are the disintegrationists?
From Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States to the
New York Times' 1619 project, many modern analyses view American
history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and
corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American
philosophy as a lie - beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly
rotted system. They see America's culture of rights as a facade
that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of
being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals.
Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are
insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the
rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of
marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased
reliance on the government. This twisted disintegrationist vision
replaces the traditional "unionist" understanding that all
Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of
universal ideals. How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows
that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths
about ourselves, our history, and reality itself-to be unionists
instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that
if we don't recover these shared truths, our future-our union-as a
great country is threatened with destruction.
