Senior Fellow, Michael Anton:

The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return

In his anonymously published essay titled "The Flight 93 Election", Claremont Senior Fellow Michael Anton rallied conservatives to "charge the cockpit" by voting for Trump in the 2016 election. Now he says in his new book, The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return, that the last few years have only served to prove his "Flight 93" thesis: the left has become more aggressive, more vindictive, and more dangerous—and the stakes have never been higher.

To reframe the upcoming 2020 election, Anton looks at California: a state that has descended from a middle-class paradise into crumbling, crowded chaos under unchallenged Democrat rule. Where California goes, so goes the United States of America, Anton argues—unless conservatives take a stand.

Michael Anton is a lecturer and research fellow at Hillsdale College, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, and a former national security official in the Trump administration.

Ranging across every hot-button political topic of our time—from immigration to nationalism to war—and informed by a profound understanding of classical and American political philosophy, The Stakes will transform the way you view politics and America’s future.
