Overview
Overview
What if America's greatest threat isn't foreign but internal-a society so fractured it can no longer govern itself?
Divided We Fall is a razor-sharp investigation into how polarization evolved from a feature of democracy into a systemic threat to its survival. Blending historical analysis, case studies, and cutting-edge research, Philip Stengel dissects the roots of ideological division-from the Federalist debates to the Civil War, from the collapse of local journalism to the rise of algorithmic outrage and foreign disinformation.
This book examines:
How media fragmentation and social platforms exploit outrage for profit
The geopolitical manipulation of domestic unrest by foreign powers
The collapse of cross-partisan communities and personal relationships
The real-world consequences: from school board brawls to civic disengagement
With a critical eye and relentless clarity, Divided We Fall offers not easy answers, but necessary frameworks for understanding-and confronting-a polarized age. For anyone seeking to move beyond tribalism and reclaim democratic discourse, this is essential reading.
