United States 12.0 Freedom versus Communism – The Last Stand for America's Families by James Scarangella is a book that discusses the American reality. The book's central premise is that the US is at a crossroads and under the threat of communism. As can be deduced from the title, the author is an American conservative. The topics discussed here are diverse: education, the American fiscal problem, the disintegration of the family unit, immigration, and American bureaucracy, among others. Several important figures of the present and past are mentioned, such as Thomas Jefferson, Donald Trump, and Ronald Reagan.

When analyzing a book with such evident ideological content, I always put myself above ideologies. Not being part of the American reality, it would be difficult to classify myself as a "conservative" or "liberal" in the American sense of the word. I tend to evaluate the book according to its premises. In other words, I may not agree with some points, but if the author knows what he is talking about and has well-founded his position, I will consider the book to be good. And nobody can say that James Scarangella does not stand out: he not only masters the conservative figures mentioned but also cites pertinent historical examples. That was what I liked most about this work.

There is nothing I didn't like about this book. I would argue that the author uses the word "fascism" incorrectly in many situations, but I can understand why. Being part of a reality where the State is much smaller than in Europe (and where I live), I can understand why he makes these analogies. Some freedoms provided by the American Constitution are foreign to both communism and fascism, which makes some Americans find similarities between these two ideologies even though they are mortal enemies. That's why I don't consider this aspect of the book to be a flaw.

Overall, United States 12.0 Freedom versus Communism – The Last Stand for America's Families is a deep, insightful, and thought-provoking book. The author has succeeded in what he set out to do. The content is very well-founded. I only found one grammatical error, so it is fair to say that the editing of the book is also decent. Therefore, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in the political, social, and economic reality of contemporary America. The book is written from a conservative perspective, but it presents several interesting insights that can make even the most extreme liberals question some of their values.

OK, the title indeed reveals a lot about the book and the author behind it. I am not going to read it because I am not interested in American politics. I think over the years they have got toxic and we talk over each other, not with each other. Nonetheless, you made sure the review didn't take sides but was objective and balanced. Kudos to you, reviewer. I liked reading your work.

It seems like a thought-provoking read, especially for those interested in understanding different political perspectives. I appreciate when an author backs up their views with historical examples and clear arguments. While I may not align with every viewpoint, I think it could offer valuable insight into the conservative perspective on modern America. I’d consider checking it out for a broader understanding of the issues discussed.
