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 effort 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.
