Summary:

In BATTLEFIELD AMERICA: THE Battle IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, the follow-up to his award-winning publication A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Law enforcement Condition, constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead paints a terrifying family portrait of a country at battle with itself and on the verge of undermining and destroying the basic freedoms guaranteed to all citizens in the Constitution.

Indeed, police have been transformed into extensions from the armed forces. Towns and towns have grown to be battlefields as well as the about Battlefield America American people turned into enemy combatants to be spied on, monitored, scanned, frisked, and searched-subjected to all manner of intrusions as they are intimidated, silenced, raided, manhandled, shot at, locked up, and rejected due process.

Yet this police state did not come about overnight. As Whitehead observes, this change into totalitarianism cannot be traced back to a single individual or event. Instead, the evolution continues to be so subtle that most Americans were barely alert to it occurring.

BATTLEFIELD AMERICA files how, in exchange for the promise of safe roads, safe academic institutions, blight-free neighborhoods, reduced taxes, lower crime rates, and readily accessible technology to boost our safety, the American people opened the entranceway to militarized police, government monitoring, asset forfeiture, restrictive zero-tolerance policies in institutions, invasive red light video cameras, SWAT team raids, healthcare mandates, and overcriminalization of our residents aided by federal government corruption.
