How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps

By: Ben Shapiro

Narrated by: Ben Shapiro

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.

Most relevant piece of nonfiction for 2020

Ben’s “Three Easy Steps” is probably the most accurate telling and diagnosis of what is creating the divide in America these days. What basically started off as a prediction for the future has essentially come to fruition in the present. This is the most important book of the year for all of those who hope to see America continue as a union. Regardless of political beliefs, this is a book for true patriots. Hope everyone finds it as insightful as I found it and God Bless America and God Bless You.

A call to arms and an excellent assessment of the American Experiment

From what I gathered through my listen, Ben Shapiro's "How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps" serves three purposes.

Its first and chief purpose: to raise awareness about the indignant cultural rebellion that seeks to destroy and reshape for the worse how we as Americans perceive this great nation, as well as the history behind this disintegrationist movement.

Its second purpose: to stir the emotions of patriotic Americans by appealing to their very nature of pride in the founding of this great nation as well as by detailing his assessment of the American Experiment.

Its third purpose: to serve as a call to arms for patriotic Americans – and all Americans in general – to uphold and stand up for those unique natural rights upon which our nation has been founded.

Through this work, Shapiro fulfills all these purposes with flying colors.

This work is an excellent piece of literature that I believe all Americans should read or give a listen to.

Amazing book describing exactly what’s going on in today’s America

Don’t know what kind of witchcraft Ben uses, but his assessment of America in summer 2020 is spot on. Chapter 5 of the book is the best synopsis of American history I have ever read.

The most important book of our modern time.

In this book Ben clearly lays out the history, failures, hopes and achievements of our nation. He gives clarity, through their own writings, to our founding fathers beliefs and attitudes towards the new nation and it's relationship to slavery. This is not a book ignoring our nation's faults but it is also not a book ignoring the amazing achievements and promise laid in the foundations of our nation. This book is perfectly timed for the present moment in political history and is a warning to all that there is a large group trying to rewrite our history and destroy our great nation. The best book I have "read" on audible.

Great in logic and in history

Ben Shapiro delivers another book with logic as his guide covering the current great divide in our country and concludes with common sense solutions.
