America Betrayed: How a Christian Monk Created America & Why the Left Is Determined to Destroy Her

David Horowitz presents a powerful defense of America's founding principles against what he identifies as a coordinated assault on the nation's history and character. Horowitz argues that America faces an existential crisis as progressive forces systematically reframe the American story as one of oppression rather than liberty, falsely portraying the nation as inherently racist from its inception. The book demonstrates how this distorted narrative has become the official doctrine of influential institutions including the White House, Pentagon, Congress, and educational system. Using Martin Luther's history and ideas as a framework, Horowitz methodically rebuilds an understanding of America's founding ideals and achievements, highlighting how the nation's remarkable racial progress stems directly from its founding principles rather than progressive policies. He exposes how the deliberate mischaracterization of America's heritage serves to undermine citizens' patriotism and weaken their will to defend traditional values and institutions. Written with historical depth and contemporary urgency, the book functions both as historical restoration and political manifesto, calling Americans to reject false narratives about their nation's past and reclaim the principles of individual liberty that Horowitz sees as essential to preserving America's exceptional character and promise.
