Unprecedented Assault

How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left

For the very first time in the history of the United States, wide-ranging and substantive resources and tools are allowing the socialist Left to become a considerable and formidable threat. Not merely recapping examples, Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left is the first all-encompassing, historical exploration of the ways in which the socialist Left has transformed American society and politics—and how to correct the path down which the country is headed.

Incurring the consequences produced by decades of misguided federal government spending and policy, America’s very foundation is now being opposed by a rapidly ascending socialist Left. With academic expertise honed by decades of political, policy, and journalistic experience in Washington, J.T. Young’s distinctive point of view results in an approachable, thorough look backward and forward in time, investigating and explaining the rise of the greatest leftist uprising in the United States’s complex story.

“J.T. Young clearly and forcefully explains how the socialist movement has taken hold of America by exploiting the expansion of federal government. Unprecedented Assault not only takes readers through the history of this resurgence of radicalism, it also provides a useful road map for how to get the country back on track.”

—Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief at The Federalist

“In Unprecedented Assault, prolific writer and former corporate executive J.T. Young identifies a new and dangerous movement in the Democratic Party, ‘the socialist Left.’ They have different goals, tactics, and policies than the Democrats of the past, and a very different and disturbing vision for America, one with ‘more centralized control, more limitations, and fewer individual freedoms.’ Anyone concerned about American politics—and American liberty—should be paying attention.”

—Tevi Troy, presidential historian, former senior White House aide, and author of The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry
