The book has very few indications of previous ownership or use. There are some faint marks on the covers from handling and being shelved, but nothing else stands out. Overall, the book is very close to Like New.

From The New Press online, "National political commentator Steve Phillips?s ?politically charged and thoughtfully reasoned? (Kirkus Reviews) How We Win the Civil War helped chart the way forward for progressives and people of color, arguing that Democrats must recognize the nature of the fight we?re in, which is a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the Civil War.

"Combining a powerful grasp of history with Phillips?s trademark, no-nonsense political critique, this ?spirited and persuasive . . . rousing call for change? (Publishers Weekly) argues that we will not overcome until we govern as though we are under attack?until we finally recognize that the time has come to finish the conquest of the Confederacy and all that it represents."

From the front flap, "Steve Phillips's first book, Brown Is the New White, helped shift the national conversation around race and electoral politics, earning a spot on the New York Times and Washington Post bestseller lists and launching Phillips into the upper ranks of trusted observers of the nation's changing demographics and their implications for our political future."

About this title

Synopsis

A National Bestseller

“If we first recognize that we are in a war, and then learn the lessons and follow the lead of those who have shown they know how to prevail, we can definitely win the Civil War, secure a multiracial democracy, and end white supremacy for good.” —from the introduction

The bestselling author and national political commentator pulls no punches on what America needs to do to strengthen its multiracial democracy

Steve Phillips’s first book, Brown Is the New White, helped shift the national conversation around race and electoral politics, earning a spot on the New York Times and Washington Post bestseller lists and launching Phillips into the upper ranks of trusted observers of the nation’s changing demographics and their implications for our political future.

Now, in How We Win the Civil War, Phillips charts the way forward for progressives and people of color after four years of Trump, arguing that Democrats must recognize the nature of the fight we’re in, which is a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the Civil War. We will not overcome, Phillips writes, until we govern as though we are under attack—until we finally recognize that the time has come to finish the conquest of the Confederacy and all that it represents.

With his trademark blend of political analysis and historical argument, Phillips lays out razor-sharp prescriptions for 2022 and beyond, from increasing voter participation and demolishing racist immigration policies to reviving the Great Society programs of the 1960s—all of them geared toward strengthening a new multiracial democracy and ridding our politics of white supremacy, once and for all.
