The End of America

Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

By: Naomi Wolf

Narrated by: Karen White

The Founding Fathers believed that the proper goal of the State was to make men and women free to develop their faculties and to pursue virtue and wisdom. Our Constitution was built around these principles, protecting civil liberties and developing a careful system of checks and balances that protected our freedom from tyranny.

Naomi Wolf's latest work, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, exposes how the escalation of executive power has eroded these core values and systems, limiting Congress's ability to make laws and our courts' power to interpret them - a scenario that our Founding Fathers foresaw and warned against.

Wolf outlines in this citizen call to action - which is reminiscent of Thomas Paine's revered Common Sense - the real threats to our civil liberties that exist and explains how by working together we can stop the growing threat.

The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot is the centerpiece to the American Freedom Agenda, a nonpartisan organization of which Naomi Wolf is a founding board member and which asks all Americans to support a "Freedom Pledge" to support only candidates who favor restoring the pillars of American liberty. It combines a wide host of partners, united in their belief that when it comes to the Constitution, we are neither conservative nor liberal; we are all Americans.

Critic reviews

"Compellingly and cogently argued....Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

Timeless 10 Steps to Fascism

Awesome book. It resonates more than ever in 2021 as we see authoritarian entities abusing a declared health emergency to trample individual liberties.

Great book

Naomi did a wonderful job outlining many concerns about the directions our government has been going. Not just when it was written but especially in 2021! Things have not gotten better the power grab and control is getting worse. Highly recommended this book!

Brave writer

Great book. Ms. Wolf is a brave writer. Even more so in the year 2023. Never forget.

A MUST read book!

While very important at the time of it's writing, it's even more important to read (or reread) now. The worrying actions of the early 2000s don't even shine a light on the current administration and its actions. Probably one of the most important books to read during the Trump regime.

Naomi Wolf was and is prescient

Dr. Wolf laid out the danger for us perfectly in 2007. it is uncanny how she saw what was happening and where these dangerous trends would lead. Read her book if you are concerned about the continuing erosion of freedom in the United States and beyond.
