On Offense
by Kris Goldsmith
Kris Goldsmith is a veteran, activist, and expert on disinformation, extremism, and the rise of radical movements in the United States. A former Army sergeant turned investigative researcher, he has dedicated his work to exposing far-right extremism, particularly its influence on veterans and military communities.
In On Offense, Goldsmith explores the spread of disinformation, radicalization, and extremist recruitment tactics, particularly among veterans and law enforcement. Drawing from personal experience and deep investigative research, he outlines how far-right movements manipulate social media, propaganda, and conspiracy theories to grow their ranks. The book not only exposes these threats but also offers strategies to counteract extremism, emphasizing the importance of education, community resilience, and proactive engagement. Goldsmith’s work serves as both a warning and a call to action for those committed to protecting democracy from the dangers of radicalization and authoritarian influence.
