Product Description
“Stunning...the most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.” —NEWT GINGRICH
The Roots of Obama’s Rage reveals Obama for who he really is: a man driven by the anti-colonial ideology of his father and the first American president to actually seek to reduce America's strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obama’s Rage is poised to be the one book that truly defines Obama and his presidency.

This is the most powerful book I have read ever. It lays bare a truth so chilling as to be scary. And yet I say this to you. We should all learn the truth and why it is so.
Hope those of you who read it gain a deeper understanding of the man who is destroying america. Yeah, and of his reasons. I now understand so much that before made no sense. Truly, I fear for america.

In general I avoid "political" books; I fear the animus I may encounter. No animus in this book. It was very entertaining; reads like a novel. And so surprisingly, deeply informative (loaded with footnotes). The author writes with such candor and openness and it flows. It closes with such promise for this nation and for all nations as well. No matter your political allegiance, do yourself a favor and read this book - read all the way through. You will have a new understanding . . .

The book is well written and offers a plausible theory for the seemingly unexplainable actions of Obama. While many attribute the actions to a socialist or Marxist ideology, this book offers a better insight... probably true. While I enjoyed it immensely, it does bog down in the middle with endless explanations of Obama's attraction to his drunken father. Go for it. It is a good read.

I have read numerous books and articles about Barack Hussein Obama since he hit the national stage. I live in Illinois and am acutely aware of his aggressive proabortion/infanticide and far left policies. Once elected to the Big House, he brought his community organizing skills in an effort to "fundamentally transform" our once great nation. Neither I nor my family and friends could understand what drives this man to deconstruct the greatest nation on God's green earth. Finally, Dinsh D'Souza has advanced a plausible theory and I believe it fits perfectly. Mr. D'Souza is brilliant and brings reason and history to his thesis. Mr. D'Souza is a national treasure. If you want to understand Obama's motivation, I think you'll find some enlightenment here.

As a young student, I read Frantz Fanon, heard Kwame Nkrumah and Jawaharlal Nehru. I read about the Mau Mau. I studied Soviet involvement in the anticolonial movement from Lenin to Brezhnev - including their side-adventures in Africa via such institutions as Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.
During the 2008 campaign, I read both of Obama's books. I came to pretty much the same conclusion that D'Souza has. If one pays attention to Obama's own words, it is hard to reach a different conclusion. To do so one would have to know nothing about the political climate of the 1950's and 1960's that shaped his father, Barack Obama Sr. One would have to discount Obama's own claims that he finally found his identity as a Luo tribesman in Kenya. One would have to likewise dismiss his obvious and often-repeated preoccupation with the heroic father who deserted him. "Dreams From My Father" is a treasure-trove of keys to Obama's psyche.
If nothing else, the return of the Churchill bust - a senseless slap in the face of an often-essential ally - lit up the landscape like a giant flare to anyone who knew anything about Obama's Kenya connection and about Churchill. The bust was a gift from the British people after 9/11 intended to evoke on behalf of the United States Churchill's spirit of undying resistance to Germany in World War II, but to Obama the bust represented merely the old bull of the British Empire that dominated Kenya during Obama Sr.'s lifetime. As a mindset, I suppose it is understandable, but would Americans knowingly put somebody whose head was in such a place into the Oval Office, let alone someone who could reasonably be demonstrated to have the reduction of American power and influence as a prime goal of his existence?
D'Souza has done an excellent service by laying out the case so clearly and compellingly. His own position as a son of British India, gives him not only a unique insight but also considerable "street creds" on the issue.
The only pertinent information that D'Souza has neglected is the extent to which President Obama has been and continues to be personally involved in the internal politics of Kenya. Obama actively supported - before, during, and after the 2008 presidential campaign -- his cousin. the Islamizing Raila Odinga, in his successful quest to be prime minister of Kenya. Subsequently he enlisted the Department of State to support Odinga's proposed sharia-friendly constitution for Kenya. He even sent Vice-president Joe Biden personally to Kenya to support the new Odinga constitution. It is a breath-taking admission of divided allegiances!
It is not an invalid exercise to wonder whether Obama's ultimate loyalties lie with his mother's homeland or with his father's Kenya?
