A most comprehensive study into the reasons that we fight! The reasons that pride, fear and hatred motivate our enemies more than cost-benefit analysis are delved into deeply.
The author provides excellent in-depth studies in many areas including how propaganda has changed throughout the years. Clausewitz is mentioned frequently and one quote that I thought was pertinent today is ' All war is a battle of wills'.
The Truman Doctrine as well as President Reagan's accomplishments are explained in detail. Who can forget hearing President Reagan in November of 1989 saying '..tear down this wall'.
We, as a nation, need to understand our enemies including their long -term objectives. What threats do we have at home and abroad and do we have the right tools to defeat them?
ISIS and the jihadis are also discussed in great detail and there are some real eye openers in this section.
The last portion is a lengthy interview between the author and Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report which covers this book, President Trump, and the future of conservative thoughts.
As a nation, we have to prepare for irregular warfare....including cyber attacks. And, we also must understand our enemies better including their strategic goals, weaknesses and strengths. Threats abound and not just from ISIS and the jihadists.
As a retired US Navy Chief Petty Officer, I appreciated the addition of several American Warriors. Heroes....each and every one of them.
Most highly recommended.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Sebastian Gorka gets President Trump. And he gets National Security. In Defeating Jihad he showed us how to take down the terrorists. Now with Why We Fight, he uses his experience as Strategist to the President to give us the plan to deal with our other enemies. Not only that. He also shares the incredible stories of real American heroes who gave their all so our country could be safe. Read this book. Buy it for your friends and relatives." -- Judge Jeanine Pirro, author of "Liars, Leakers, and Liberals."
"With Donald Trump as president, America is back, and we are Making America Great Again. Dr. Gorka is one of the most important MAGA voices we have, and in Why We Fight, he shows us what it will take to defeat our enemies and just why America is so special." -- Sean Hannity
"Donald Trump is fearlessly restoring the America of our Founding Fathers and making all Americans safe again. Sebastian Gorka was his strategist. Dr. Gorka knows Donald Trump and the threats we face. Buy and read Why We Fight to find how we win and what it means to be an American hero." -- Rush Limbaugh
“Sebastian Gorka understands my father, the significance of the historic November 8, 2016 election and the power of the Make America Great Again movement. Why We Fight provides deep insight into the threats America faces and how to keep our country strong. Under President Trump, America is back!" -- Eric Trump

This is an interesting read but I gave up on the ebook version at the 50% mark. It is so riddled with typos that I was continually distracted from the content. Not the worst ebook I've seen in this regard, but close to it. Kept thinking that, if the writer doesn't care enough to ensure a quality edit is posted, then perhaps the ideas he expresses in the book aren't that important to him.

I knew from seeing him on TV that Sebastian Gorka was a bright man. I knew the way the Left disparaged him that he must have some good stuff. I was not mistaken. The book is well written offering a strategic perspective on what is happening in our country, tied in with interesting lessons from history. He also uses three or four examples of people who represent what is right with America and how we can learn from their example. Until the last chapter or two, this was a 5 Star book. Where it falls short in my opinion is in practical answers for Americans. It says that is why the book is written and he nails it regarding what we can do as a nation but as a citizen seeing my country destroyed I didn't get the solutions promised.

I suppose it’s not a coincidence that the title recalls Frank Capra’s film, “Why We Fight”, which was more centered upon the prominent existential evils of the mid-20th century, Nazism and communism, with which “radical” Islam shares many dehumanizing attributes. The kindle version could use a bit of proofreading, though. For instance, in the story of Red McDaniel, the “sam” should be all-caps and it didn’t “denote” between his plane and that of his wingman, it detonated. There were about a dozen such other odd little glitches that may not be present in the print version. Still, pretty economical tuition for a good mini-course.

Dr. Gorka is one of the world's most knowledgeable authorities on the Jihadist movement, and in this book he patiently and methodically exposes it for exactly what it is, and his suggestions on how to fight back against it are eminently logical and should be taken to heart by all of our government and military officials. I especially enjoyed the Appendices, where he succinctly outlines the history of the Jihadist movement and how each former leader or writer developed the building blocks that lead to radicalization of desperate young people. Now I know why they hate us so much!

Fantastic Book - Thank You Dr Gorka!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2018Verified Purchase
There will undoubtedly be plenty of one star reviews of this book posted by the feral left: ignore them. If you like Dr Gorka’s work you’ll love this extremely user-friendly and accessible book. This well-written book makes an extremely compelling argument for defending American culture by explaining how those who don’t share our values will subvert and endanger us with an ideology at odds to our own. Read and digest.
