Homeland Defense

THIS book speaks to two different audiences, and does so with two distinct voices. The first voice addresses the general reader, a John Q. Public who has presumably been bombarded with an array of ideologies hostile to America’s history and culture. This voice is vintage D’Souza: clear, graceful, and well reasoned. The second voice addresses D’Souza’s fellow conservatives on political philosophy and strategy. This voice is highly problematic.

In the first three-quarters of the book, we hear D’Souza’s first voice. It patiently explains to the reader that the multiculturalists, Third World radicals, Islamists, European critics, reparations seekers, and assorted cultural relativists are wrong about America: Our country is in fact “great and noble” and remains “worthy of our love and sacrifice.”
