The best things said about it
In it he argued that quote Christian crusaders pushed back the Muslim hordes in the 12th century. American crusaders will need to muster the same courage against Islamists today.
American Crusade is a book that advocates for Christian theocracy.
He writes in 2020 a manifesto/book called American Crusade which is one of those both like tie-in I'm trying to get more into politics.
As part of his ongoing attempt to both identify himself with the ascendant Christian nationalist movement and to force Trump to take note of him, in 2020, he publishes the book American Crusade.
Thus this time in our history calls for an all caps American crusade. Yes, a holy war for the righteous cause of human freedom.

Why people recommend it
American Crusade by Pete Hegseth is a political manifesto and book published in 2020 that outlines aggressive views on civilizational conflict and Christian nationalism. On the podcast Breaking Points, Emily Jashinsky discussed the book, noting how the author argued that 12th-century Christian crusaders pushed back Muslim forces and that modern American crusaders must show similar courage against Islamists today. Furthermore, Robert Evans extensively analyzed the book across multiple episodes of Behind the Bastards, describing it as a fascist manifesto written to align its author with the ascendant Christian nationalist movement and attract Donald Trump's attention. Evans critiqued the text for advocating Christian theocracy and exposing an underlying worldview in which evangelical dominionists have no desire to peacefully coexist with others. While the author claimed he was not explicitly calling for violence, Evans argued that the book effectively supports going to war and acts as a blueprint for extreme religious and political conflict. Podcast hosts brought up the book to highlight these dangerous themes, especially given the author's prominent government role, warning listeners that the work demands close scrutiny and widespread public awareness regarding its authoritarian objectives.
