What to expect
“Political correctness” has taken politeness and turned it into a weapon of censorship and intimidation. In the workplace, on social media, and even at the dinner table, Americans are confronted daily with a laundry list of words they’re “not allowed” to say—and that list is updated constantly and without warning.
How did so absurd a concept become so dangerous—and come to dominate our public discourse over the last quarter-century?
In Speechless, #1 nationally bestselling author and political commentator Michael Knowles masterfully traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early twentieth century to the present, revealing its insidious roots, exposing the power-hungry language architects behind its ever-growing control, and examining what this concerted manipulation of speech means for the future of American culture, politics, and minds.
Critics Review
“Michael Knowles is one of the most important conservative leaders of his generation…Speechless is the most important book on free speech in decades—read it!”
“Every single American needs to read Michael Knowles’s Speechless. I don’t mean ‘read it eventually.’ I mean: stop what you’re doing and pick up this book.”
“Michael Knowles is a rare combination: the conservative who understands the roots of his opponents’ thought, and the fighter who understands the necessity for tactical aggression.”
“This book is a howitzer in the fight against the totalitarians.”
“Magnificent…like nothing you’ve ever read…Tough love for hapless right-wingers forfeiting our culture to the radical Left.”
“This book is a must-read for anyone who hopes to preserve our culture.”
“Michael Knowles is a national treasure.”
“This book is a must-read for anyone wanting a diagnosis on how American culture and politics became so ill.”
“Knowles has written an insightful and gripping deconstruction of the mind-prison called political correctness…This is a must-read.”
