Only the Strong

Reversing the Left's Plot to Sabotage American Power

By: Tom Cotton

Narrated by: Tony Messano, Tom Cotton

New York Times bestselling author and conservative U.S. Senator Tom Cotton exposes the progressive left’s decades-long plot to sabotage American power, culminating in a behind-the-scenes look at the dangerous failures of Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden—and explains what we must do to recover America’s strength.

If it seems to you that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have weakened America and emboldened our enemies, you’re not alone. But Senator Cotton explains that their failures aren’t just incompetence or bad luck—it’s decline by design.

Only the Strong reveals the untold inside story of how progressive ideologues and Democratic politicians abandoned the American tradition of strength, pride, and honor. From the beginning, early progressives like Woodrow Wilson repudiated our Founding in favor of globalist fantasies abroad and big government at home. By Vietnam, leftists had begun to blame America first for the world’s problems—just as Barack Obama did for eight years as he apologized and sought to atone for America’s supposed sins. Along the way, Democrats have sold out America’s sovereignty and hollowed out our military to restrain American power. Even when Democrats have acted tough, it usually ends in disaster, from John Kennedy’s debacle at the Bay of Pigs to Bill Clinton’s fiasco in Mogadishu to Joe Biden’s humiliating retreat from Afghanistan.

While offering a timely warning of the dangers ahead and new stories from Senator Cotton’s service in the Senate and the Army, Only the Strong also provides a formidable and urgent roadmap to restore American strength before it’s too late. Because only the strong can survive in a dangerous world and only the strong can preserve their freedom.

An Excellent Assessment

Senator Cotton’s outstanding assessment of our current situation, both at home and on the world stage, is a treasure trove of historical facts that explain how we arrived at this moment in history. I’m a student of history and I learned a lot from this book.

Excellent

A man who should be President!!!! Clear understanding of history and America’s role in the world.

leaves no question what has happened to America

“only the strong” makes it abundantly clear what the Democrats have done and are continuing to do to America.

Exasperating then inspiring

It made sad then mad to listen to the litany of misguided leadership and outright incompetence that has weakened our country. It was a bracing relief to hear what can still be done to recover. Half or more will hate this book, but I hope they give it a chance.

Evan's Review

I really like this book and I strongly recommend it. In this book Senator Cotton writes alot about how America is strong Country. He quotes President Reagan. Being combat veteran he understands how our military needs to be strongest in the world during peace time so we are prepared.

Senator Tom Cotton Saves America...if we listen

Superb book BUT why, oh, why did author Tom Cotton not narrate it? It just didn't ring right or read well. The narrator just couldn't capture the voice of Tom Cotton. Disappointed in the Audible experience. Wish I had just bought the book and read it.

Conservative Overview

Tom Cotton presents a powerful discussion of our present world circumstances due to practiced politics of our country since the time of Woodrow Wilson.

He advocates we must stop apologizing for the past and practice strength through action and tone - something he feels the democratic party has not done this past 100 years.

Bravo Tom! A must read for every American!

To every American who loves our great country and our Creator….read this book!
Tom Cotton is truly a great senator, orator and teacher! He presents this book in truth and concern for our nation and I applaud you Tom Cotton! Don’t give up on your crusade to save America!!

Poignant facts delivered with conviction

In most respects, Senator Cotton is speaking from a military perspective, which I understand clearly. The book is one-sided in it's criticisms of left-wing "leadership", and leftist culture, and thus accurately reflects the sad and often tragic reality of the past 6 decades. If you don't see that we're at war, and that our liberty is literally at stake, this book may just open your eyes. Democrats have undermined our national security at EVERY opportunity, and this book is a call to arms (figuratively). Strong solute to Senator Cotton. This man has proven himself as a true patriot beyond any doubt, and his perspective is invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the steady "decline by design" of this great nation.

Stay Strong America

An amazing book…well written and researched. A visionary leader with a wealth of experience. My prediction is that the honorable Senator Tom Cotton will be a future President. I highly recommend this book to all.
