Smith argues that the United States is in the midst of a civil war, a war between two opposing visions of America. One side, the "progressives," believes that government should play an active role in society to promote equality and justice. The other side, the "conservatives," believes that government should be limited and that individuals should be free to pursue their own interests.

This civil war is being fought on multiple fronts, from the halls of Congress to the streets of our cities. Smith documents the rise of the alt-right, the increasing polarization of American politics, and the erosion of trust in our institutions.

The Battle For America is a wake-up call for all Americans. Smith shows us that our democracy is in danger and that we must take action to preserve it. He offers a series of recommendations for how we can heal our divisions and build a more just and equitable society.
