BOOK OVERVIEW – Why We Fight

• With liberals unable and unwilling to believe in or fight for American values and with America reeling after 8 years of Obama’s ineffectual foreign policy, Dr. Gorka reminds readers that national willpower, not just weaponry, wins wars.
• Within Why We Fight, Dr. Gorka answers four key questions: what are the most serious threats to American security, how are they different from the threats of the past, what can we do to counter these threats, and how can we achieve the “perfect victory” of vanquishing our enemies without mortal combat?
