David French examines the depths of the American ideological divide, diagnoses its core causes, and provides a hopeful path forward.
DAVID FRENCH is a senior writer at National Review, a senior fellow at the National Review Institute, and the author or co-author of several books, most recently Rise of ISIS: A Threat We Can't Ignore, a New York Times bestseller.
"In his admirably measured book Divided We Fall, French
convincingly argues that polarization is putting America on a
perilous path to disunion." --James Kirchick, New York Times Book
Review
"French makes a powerful case that the country could be heading
toward dissolution--not so much a hot civil war as a bitter
domestic cold war leading to an acrimonious divorce through
secession." --Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch
"World Magazine's 'Understanding America Book of the Year.' The
United States is more polarized than at any time since the Civil
War. The highly discussed book that best recognizes that--and
proposes what to do--is David French's Divided We Fall: America's
Secession Threat and How To Restore Our Nation." --World Magazine
"French laments conspiracy-minded rhetoric from both the right and
the left in this incisive examination of contemporary political
polarization. This well-informed and often moving account provides
an antidote to the ills of political partisanship." --Publishers
Weekly
"[French is] not calling on us to agree--just to continue
disagreeing without destroying ourselves." --Carlos Lozada,
Washington Post "French presents a vision for how the country can
come together again and embrace national unity." --Mackenzie
Dawson, New York Post "In a season of sharp contrasts between red
and blue and with a major election looming, French's book is a
timely and necessary read. Even those who don't quite believe in
the imminent danger of secession will appreciate his call to
renewed courage and character. He offers a timeless reminder of the
importance of justice, mercy and humility toward one
another--imperfect people in an imperfect world, still hoping for a
more perfect union." --Terri Barnes, Stars and Stripes "French's
book is important because he has his eyes fixed on the real or most
fundamental problem confronting American democracy, and because he
doesn't allow himself to get sucked into or distracted by the more
superficial conflicts that feed into that problem and make it
worse...deserves to be widely read and debated among those who
would help America avoid the worst of its many possible futures."
--Damon Linker, The Week
