President McKinley's Killer and the America He Left Behind by Jessica S. Gunderson

Using a narrative case-study format, Terrorism on American Soil provides detailed accounts of the perpetrators, their motives, and the social and political context in which the events took place. McCann covers the most infamous attacks as well as obscure yet important events. This book chronicles thirty-seven such assaults on American soil from the end of the Civil War into the twenty-first century. But in truth, terrorist attacks had always been a part of American life. To many Americans, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, seemed to usher in a new era in which we faced a new kind of threat. This book offers what should be the only criteria for rating the occupants of the White House: were they good for America?įrom the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to 9/11 and beyond, this riveting case study examines the history of American terror attacks.

This upends the conventional wisdom about a great deal of American history and present-day reality, and is intended to do so. America’s presidents are rated on the extent to which they put America First-not in the sense of a narrow isolationism, but whether they really advanced the interests of the American people. This book, therefore, rates the presidents not on the basis of criteria developed by socialist internationalist historians, but on their fidelity to the United States Constitution and to the powers, and limits to those powers, of the president as delineated by the Founding Fathers. There needs to be an America-First reevaluation of him and his predecessors. Donald Trump was elected president pledging to put America First, as any nation’s leader should put his or her own people first. Nowadays, with socialism massively discredited and internationalism facing more opposition than it has since before World War II, it’s time to reevaluate what the Leftist historians have told us. It is through that prism that they see all of American history. They dislike presidents who lowered taxes, protected American workers, and avoided getting the United States entangled in foreign conflicts that had nothing to do with protecting the American people. Most historians of the American presidency-walking in lockstep with today’s hard-Left academic establishment-favor presidents who were big-government statists and globalists.
