About this audiobook

This program is read by the author.

In Death of a Nation, Dinesh D'Souza tackles the biggest lie of the left—that America is a society based on white supremacy. Now a major motion picture.

Who is killing America? Is it really Donald Trump and a GOP filled with white supremacists? In a major new work of historical revisionism, Dinesh D’Souza makes the provocative case that Democrats are the ones killing America by turning it into a massive nanny state modeled on the Southern plantation system.

This sweeping alternative history of the Democratic Party goes back to its foundations in the antebellum South. The slaveholding elite devised the plantation as a means of organizing labor and political support. It was a mini welfare state, a cradle to grave system that bred dependency and punished any urge to independence. This model impressed northern Democrats, inspiring the political machines that traded government handouts for votes from ethnic immigrant blocs.

Today's Democrats have expanded to a multiracial plantation of ghettos for blacks, barrios for Latinos, and reservations for Native Americans. Whites are the only holdouts resisting full dependency, and so they are blamed for the bigotry and racial exploitation that is actually perpetrated by the left.

Death of a Nation's bracing alternative vision of American history explains the Democratic Party's dark past, reinterprets the roles of figures like Van Buren, FDR and LBJ, and exposes the hidden truth that racism comes not from Trump or the conservative right but rather from Democrats and progressives on the left.

Ratings and reviews

While I enjoy and respect D'Souza I also find it sad that an immigrant from India knows more about true American history than the majority of Natural born Americans do. That initself validates D'Souza's assertion that the left has successfully masked their hate filled history.

Everyone should see this film. It explores all types of political issues and provides facts to back them up. It's a must see for Conservatives and Liberals alike.

Outstanding And reveling, with facts that bring truth to life...that even the simplest liberal can follow it...GODSPEED !
