About The Book

The secret history of the American Left.

The Left is America’s oldest enemy.

It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies.

Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning.

Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who—even two centuries ago—were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination.

From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of a century of forgotten struggles between America’s greatest heroes—such as Washington, Hamilton, Davy Crockett, and Abraham Lincoln—and radical villains like Aaron Burr.

This is a 1619 Project for the American Left: a history of the Democrats as you’ve never heard it before, told through the political debates, naval battles, race riots, scandals, secret societies, and domestic terrorism that made the Left what it is today.

Learn how the Founding Fathers defeated the Left before, and how we can beat it again.

Raves and Reviews

“Great writers always lead you to see an issue in an entirely new light, and Daniel Greenfield is a great writer. His eye-opening analysis in Domestic Enemies, that America has several times in its history faced challenges from the Left that were startlingly similar to what we face, is as convincing as it is audacious and innovative. Domestic Enemies is a marvelously original and enlightening look at American history, with a host of insights for our own age.”

Robert Spencer, Author of The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment A Civil War and Rating America’s Presidents

“In a superb analysis of the early American Left, Daniel Greenfield offers overwhelming evidence how the Left from the founding of the American republic opposed its emphasis on personal liberty and constitutional government. Our present struggle against wokism, globalism, utopianism, socialism, media bias, election rigging, racial essentialism, and the weaponization of government is hardly new. Greenfield shows how and why they were essential to the America Left and the Democratic Party from the very beginning.

A concise and lucid account of the little-known, but extremely important history of today’s American Left—and why it was and is so dangerous.”

Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover institution, Author of The Dying Citizen

“Daniel Greenfield’s new book Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, is an important and fascinating, fine-grained analysis of radical leftist influence and subversion in the United States since its beginning to the Civil War. With lively, clear writing, copious historical evidence new to most readers, and entertaining storytelling, Daniel Greenfield’s history of the left in America is a must-read, instructive revelation of how our oldest enemy has assaulted our country, and how to fight today’s attempts to transform it.”

Bruce S. Thornton, Research Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center
