Stealing America: What My Experience with Criminal Gangs Taught Me About Obama, Hillary and the Democratic Party

Dinesh D'Souza. HarperCollins/Broadside, $29.99 (334p) ISBN 978-0-062366-71-9

The Democratic Party is an organized crime syndicate bent on stealing America out from under its citizens. So purports noted documentary filmmaker and conservative author Dinesh D'Souza (America: Imagine a World Without Her) in his new book, written during his eight-month confinement in a halfway house as a result of his conviction for illegal campaign donations. The author's interactions with the gang members also at the confinement center led to his rethinking of the American political system, especially the "con" of progressives to convince average Americans that capitalism harms rather than helps them. D'Souza eviscerates the progressive movement for strong-arm tactics, starting with the Clinton-appointee judge who sentenced him to confinement%E2%80%94according to D'Souza, for his politics rather than his crime%E2%80%94and continuing on to community organizer Saul Alinksy and President Obama and Hillary Clinton, comparing them to characters out of Goodfellas and The Godfather. D'Souza enlivens the familiar material of political screeds with the colorful language of the criminals he came to know, adding to it his own insights as a seasoned political commentator. This is a must-read for any right-leaning readers looking ahead to the 2016 election. (Nov.)
