Description: In this "fearless" (Ben Carson) and "terrific" (Mike Rowe) book, America's leading anti-communist voice shares the real story of how elites in the United States helped create our greatest geopolitical threat.
Xi Van Fleet made waves with her breakout book Mao's America, exposing eerie parallels between China's past and America's present woke revolution. Now, alongside renowned Chinese dissident Yu Jie, she sounds the alarm once more--revealing how the CCP's rise was not just enabled by Soviet Russia but, shockingly, by the United States itself. Understanding this hidden history is essential for Americans in confronting the CCP's global ambitions and stopping the spread of Communism at home. For over a century, progressive and Communist ideologies have steadily infiltrated American society, shaping U.S.-China policies that have, intentionally or not, empowered the CCP. From its founding in 1921 to its brutal takeover of China 28 years later, the CCP's ascent was fueled by foreign support--first from the Soviets, then increasingly from the U.S. After the Sino-Soviet split and the near-collapse of China, the United States emerged as the CCP's primary enabler, helping transform it into the world's second-largest economy and our greatest geopolitical threat. Most Americans remain unaware of their own country's role in the CCP's unprecedented success. While others have explored pieces of this story, no book has revealed the full picture--until now. With meticulous research and unflinching clarity, this book exposes the uncomfortable truth: to effectively counter the CCP, we must first dismantle communist influence at home.Review Quotes: "Communism remains a grave threat to American freedom. Xi Van Fleet, who survived Mao's Cultural Revolution, understands this firsthand. This fearless book lays out the history we overlooked and a warning that Communist tactics are resurfacing here at home. Clear and courageous." --Dr. Ben Carson, Founder and Chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute
