How We Win the Civil War

Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good

A National Bestseller - Updated Second Edition out March 12, 2024

In his new book, Steve Phillips warns that the Confederates never stopped fighting the Civil War, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality, and that those in denial imperil our democracy. He charts the way forward in the post-Trump era, arguing that progressives must recognize the true nature of the fight we’re in—an existential battle between those who wish to make America a multiracial democracy and those clinging to the concept that this is fundamentally a white nation.
