    About this audiobook

    Dinesh D'Souza, the most original and controversial writer on politics and society in the country today, uncovers the links between the spread of American pop culture, leftist ideas, and secular values and the rise of anti-Americanism throughout the world.

    In The Enemy at Home, bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza makes the startling claim that the 9/11 attacks and other terrorist acts around the world can be directly traced to the ideas and attitudes perpetrated by America's cultural left.

    D'Souza shows that liberals-people like Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Bill Moyers, and Michael Moore-are responsible for fostering a culture that angers and repulses not just Muslim countries but also traditional and religious societies around the world. Their outspoken opposition to American foreign policy-including the way the Bush administration is conducting the war on terror-contributes to the growing hostility, encouraging people both at home and abroad to blame America for the problems of the world. He argues that it is not our exercise of freedom that enrages our enemies but rather our abuse of that freedom-from the sexual liberty or women to the support of gay marriage, birth control, and no-fault divorce, to the aggressive exploitation of our vulgar, licentious popular culture.

    The cultural wars at home and the global war on terror are usually viewed as separate problems. In this groundbreaking book, D'Souza shows that they are one and the same. It is only by curtailing the left's attack on religion, family, and traditional values that we can persuade moderate Muslims and others around the world to cooperate with us and to begin to shun the extremists in their own countries.

      This book should be read with an open mind. The title and premise make many people, liberal and conservative, very uncomfortable. D'Souza is one of the leading intellectuals of the conservative movement and his ideas should not be thrown out without serious thought. Who do I have more in common with Michael Moore or the average Muslim? Whose beliefs are closest to my own? This is excellent reading for anyone who wants to better understand how Muslims and many traditional societies view the United States. A must read for all conservatives.

      This work is both well written and challenging to listen to. I say this because I did not want to learn that the truth is The Left is working at dividing our nation and the author, mister D'Souza, does an excellent job of exposing their ideology and the plan they are working from. I can not wait to read/listen to another work by him. Thank you.

      Not a serious book. Lacks any verification, has the mechanics of a high school sophomore B student, and is completely biased. In searching deep for a virtue of the work, I will state that D'sousa understands his intended audience well.

      "The [George W.] Bush administration and the conservatives must stop promoting American popular culture because it is producing a blowback of Muslim rage. With a few exceptions, the right should not bother to defend American movies, music, and television. From the point of view of traditional values, they are indefensible. Moreover, why should the right stand up for the left's debased values? Why should our people defend their America? Rather, American conservatives should join the Muslims and others in condemning the global moral degeneracy that is produced by liberal values." Dinesh claims to love the country but when the country was at it's worst he sides with far-Right terrorists instead of his own countrymen. Truely a vile, para-Fascist if there ever was one.

      This book has some great material in it regarding Islamic extremism and how people on the political left and right fail to understand it. Unfortunately, the author also tries to affix blame on the political left and does so unconvincingly. American cultural rot has been an all hands affair.
