America's 30 Years War: Who is
Winning?
Hungarian-born historian and
world-renowned concert pianist Balint
Vazsonyi, who knows first-hand what it
means to live under an authoritarian
regime, makes a powerful case that it is.
Drawing heavily on his personal
experiences living under different
versions of socialism, Vazsonyi describes
how our hard won freedoms are being
gradually eroded. Vazsonyi traces the
essence of what makes America unique back
to the founders and shows how those who
want America as we know it to fail are
undermining the founder's original intent.
The author documents how America's
founding principles of rule of law,
individual rights, the guarantee of
property, and a common American identity
are being gradually replaced by government
mandated group rights, redistribution, and
multi-culturalism.
The thirty year war is being fought
between those who promote liberty, rights
for the individual and a continued need
for moral guidance on the one side, and
those who believe that the supreme power
is human reason which, operating through a
central authority, can and will create the
perfect world on the other. While the
picture is not rosy, America has every
chance of winning, if the intentions of
the two sides are exposed, and the
consequences weighed. This witty,
simple-to-follow, and engagingly personal
book should aid in the process. With
unmistakable clarity, Vazsonyi shows how
every time America moves away from its
founding principles it moves in the
direction of a system where a fantasy of
"social justice" is pursued through
ever-greater government control. America's
Thirty Years War is an inspiration to
those who have lost touch with our
founding principles and ammunition for
those who believe that our freedoms must
be defended every day.
The are not
many non-fiction books that I consider
real page-turners. This book I could not
put down until I had read every word to
the end. Required reading for every
concerned American. It gets five stars
from me! Jonathan
