In War on Woke: Why the New McCarthyism Is More Dangerous Than the Old, Alan Dershowitzâ#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of Americaâs most respected legal scholarsâwarns of the danger to the future of civil liberties and equality in America.
Alan Dershowitz has been called âone of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in Americaâ by Politico and âthe nationâs most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rightsâ by Newsweek.
War on Woke exposes new McCarthyite tendencies and tactics of academia, the media, and the business community, especially high tech, that promote closed-minded intolerance. Dershowitz explains that the new woke McCarthyism challenges the basic tenets of the classic liberal (in the traditional sense) state: Freedom of expression; due process; presumption of innocence, right to counsel, equal application of the law; tolerance and respect for diďŹering viewpoints, and that these bedrock principles are rejected by McCarthyite extremists on both the hard left and the hard right.
Analyzing the impact of this new woke McCarthyism through the relentless attempts to âgetâ Trump, the attention on the Bidens, and even its international manifestation relative to anti-Semitism, Israel, and the world, Dershowitz investigates the role of media and asks whether the US Supreme Court can constrain this growing threat as new woke McCarthyism becomes mainstream Americanismâespecially as the current generation of students and young professionals become our political, media, business, educational, religious, and âinďŹuencerâ leaders.
