InWar on Woke: Why the New McCarthyism Is More Dangerous Than the Old,Alan Dershowitz#1 New York Timesbestselling author and one of Americas most respected legal scholarswarns of the danger to the future of civil liberties and equality in America.

Alan Dershowitz has been called one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America byPoliticoand the nations most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights byNewsweek.

War on Wokeexposes 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 differing 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 get 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 Americanismespecially as the current generation of students and young professionals become our political, media, business, educational, religious, and influencerleaders.
