A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it's taken us
250 years to build-and they'll start by canceling our shared history ideals and
culture.Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can't agree on what makes
America special. We can't even agree that America is special. We're coming to the point that we
can't even agree what the word America itself means. Disintegrationists say we're stronger
together but their assault on America's history philosophy and culture will only tear us
apart.Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United
States to the New York Times' 1619 project many modern analyses view American history through
the lens of competing oppressions a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning.
They see American philosophy as a lie - beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system.
They see America's culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies
of power instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for
individuals.Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because
they replace each foundational belief from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the
importance of marriage and faith communities with nothing more than an increased reliance on
the government.This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional unionist
understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of
universal ideals.How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation
we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves our history and reality itself-to be
unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don't
recover these shared truths our future-our union-as a great country is threatened with
destruction.
