Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Horowitz collaborates with his FrontPage Magazine coeditor Johnson in a vitriolic attack on the left's cowardly betrayal of the American cause, singling out the antiwar stances of John Edwards, Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi for special reproach. According to the authors, a nation divided during wartime is a nation that invites its own defeat, and they argue that through ignorance and design, Democrats have obstructed presidential policy, undermined American security and continually failed to grasp the nature of the Islamofascist threat. Cataloguing Democratic miscalculations from the Carter administration on, the book asserts that Carter encouraged the Iranian revolution, Clinton fatally ignored bin Laden and Bush's wiretapping program was perniciously leaked to the New York Times. Their earnest moralizing overshadows these compelling fact patterns as Horowitz and Johnson omit intellectual or historical contextualization that might ratchet down the fever pitch of their argument; sadly, this sensationalism comes at the expense of some truly effective excoriations of liberal figures—particularly a brutal and delicious takedown of Frank Rich.

Review

Party of Defeat is a well-documented and disturbing account of the unprecedented attacks by leaders of the Democratic Party on a war they supported and then turned their backs on. In a democracy, criticism of war policy is legitimate and necessary. But deliberate undermining of a war policy, the authors urge, is another matter entirely. Every American concerned about the future of their country in the war on terror should consider the arguments in this book. --Senators Jim Bunning, Tom Coburn, James Inhofe, Jon Kyl, Jeff Sessions, Rick Santorum; Representatives Ginny Brown-Waite, Howard Coble, David Dreier, Peter Hoekstra, Peter King, Howard Buck McKeon, Mike Pence, Ed Royce, Jim Saxton, John Shadegg, Lamar S<br /><br />Party of Defeat is an eye-opening account of one of the greatest political betrayals in American history: the unprecedented attack by leaders of an opposition party on a war they authorized and on America s commander-in-chief while America s troops were still in harm s way. --Sean Hannity

A good read for the history buff and great fodder for stopping foolish arguments

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

Great fodder for the Revisionist historian's who continue to repeat the lies of the past Administration. Reading this book should make you angry, and set the record straight as to what really happened leading up to the Iraq War and what happened during the war. Like Vietnam, there are so many lies and politically motivated B.S. I would rather know the TRUTH, and let the chips fall where they may. One of the Author's David Horowitz, has had a personal journey from ultra left liberal, to truthful realist. Knowing the tactics of the left serves him well in exposing these hypocrites.

Brilliant, Concise, and Cogent...

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2008

Verified Purchase

In this thoroughly researched and heavily footnoted book, Horowitz and Johnson set forth and explicate with exacting precision the relentless campaign the American Left and the Democratic Party have pursued to discredit George W. Bush and the War on Islamic Fascism. Unfortunately many, if not most Americans have forgotten the details of how the Democrats and the Left have undermined our country's response to Islamic radicals beginning with the Carter administration.

The authors clearly organize their thesis into 5 sections: The Path to 9-11, The Response to 9-11, Why America Went to War, The War Against the War, and Conclusion. They demonstrate with unassailable factual narrative how Presidents Carter and Clinton, in concert with an anti-war leftist establishment and willing accomplices both in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party refused to confront our enemies, leading inexorably to the 9-11 attacks.

This was itself inexcusable, but it was unfortunately only a prelude to the shocking and unprecedented betrayal of our forces in the field - first in Afghanistan, then in Iraq. The Democrats first voted to authorize military action in Iraq using the same intelligence information the President had at his disposal, and then not only rescinded their support of our military while they were actively engaged in battle, but launched a full-scale political attack on their commander-in-chief, branding him a liar and a war criminal. This despicable and treasonous behavior has fractured America's resolve, damaged our troops' morale, and weakened the President's ability to prosecute the war. Top-ranking Democratic leaders have demonstrated by their statements and actions that they fail utterly to understand the nature of this war and its implications.

Every American owes it to themselves to become familiar with this material so that they can combat the misinformation campaign being waged internally - if unwittingly by some - on behalf of our enemies. Horowitz and Johnson have produced a tour de force analysis of what is quite possibly the most serious political betrayal in American history.

Read this book in an air conditioned room

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2008

Once facts are established, it is difficult to perpetuate the myth of "clothes" when the Emperor is naked for all to see. Horowitz is not a spin-meister. He simply connects the dots. The resulting picture is capable of elevating the body temperature very quickly - - unless you choose to pretend the sun rotates around the earth or some such silly notion. You will not like this book if your norm is a knee-jerk reaction to anything which runs counter to programmed belief. The title is provocative to be certain and those who consider themselves "intellectual" may become defensive. Horowitz has an early history as a "radical" and thus a different perspective on events of today. It would be easy to couch this review in typical "culture wars" rhetoric but there is too much of that already from all sides. Clear and honest debate of fact presents the best opportunity for meeting the needs of all.

I work as a Nurse in Surgery. As a rule I do not follow politics closely. But with all of the controversy surrounding this last election and the disintegration of our economy I found myself wanting to gain more understanding of what led up to many of the issues being discussed. This book was recommended by one of the radio stations that I listen to on occasion. I found this book to be very thorough, well researched, and extremely eye opening. Especially in light of the newest terrorist attacks in India---America simply can not take the threat lightly. The explanations of how the Radical Left and the Democratic Leadership undermined the War On Terror is appalling. It left me wondering...Why? Why? Why? Do they want to see the war being fought on our soil and in our streets? Do they want to see The United States Of America fall? If not? Then what is their motivation? If it is for gain of personal power at the expense of all else---well---that is just beyond my comprehension. This book made me very angry at the Radical Left and our current Democratic Leadership. They are dangerous to the safety of the USA. I made a vow after reading this to become more politically active and much less complacent.

Party of Defeat - Horowitz Nails It!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2008

Verified Purchase

Extremely well written and includes pages and pages of references. In other words, this isn't a cheap shot at the Democrats...it is documented proof the lefties will continue their self-serving campaign at the expense of American's and our liberty. I would highly recommend this book to any American who is concerned with the direction our country may go in the November 2008 elections.
