Some of my previous book reviews have included Peter Schweizer’s “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win,” Alex Joske’s “Spies and Lies: How China’s Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World,” Peter Hegseth’s “Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation,” and Dr. Ben Carson’s “Created Equal: The Painful Past, Confusing Present, and Hopeful Future of Race in America.”
I mention these authors and titles as a prelude to this review. While each of them has a specific focus, they all share in the belief that American exceptionalism is under attack; that foundational values, which many Americans honor and hold dear, are under siege; and that navigating the current pervasive and destructive narrative is challenging at best.
