Peter Schweizer Books in Order

Friendly Spies investigates how intelligence services from U.S. allies such as Japan, France, Germany, South Korea, and Israel target American companies, describing economic espionage operations, corporate theft, and the scramble for high-tech secrets in the post-Cold War marketplace.

Victory recounts the Reagan administration's secret strategy for pressuring the Soviet Union, from economic warfare and oil diplomacy to covert support for dissident movements, arguing that a coordinated campaign in the 1980s helped hasten the collapse of the Soviet empire.

Disney: The Mouse Betrayed is a critical look at the modern Walt Disney Company, alleging that corporate greed, lax safety, adult content, and internal cover-ups have undermined the family-friendly image that once defined its films and theme parks.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall collects essays from Reagan-era officials and scholars reassessing how U.S. strategy, intelligence work, and military buildup contributed to the end of the Cold War and the dramatic collapse of the Soviet bloc.

Reagan's War traces Ronald Reagan's long campaign against communism, following him from Hollywood labor battles to the White House and contending that his persistence and strategic vision were central to the West's victory in the Cold War.

The Bushes offers a multigenerational portrait of the Bush family, from early twentieth century businessmen to two presidents and a governor, weaving together family life, business deals, political campaigns, and the networks that built a modern American dynasty.

Chain of Command is a political thriller about Secret Service agent Michael Delaney, who is framed for the president's assassination as coordinated attacks hit U.S. cities, forcing him to uncover a homegrown conspiracy buried deep inside the national security establishment.

Do As I Say (Not As I Do) profiles prominent American liberals and highlights what Schweizer sees as gaps between their public stances on issues like taxes, labor, and the environment and the private choices they make in their own careers and investments.

Landmark Speeches of the American Conservative Movement anthologizes key conservative speeches since the mid twentieth century, pairing the full text of each address with introductions that explain its historical moment, core arguments, and lasting impact.

Makers and Takers draws on polls, tax data, and social science research to argue that self-described conservatives, on average, work harder, give more to charity, and report stronger family ties and greater happiness than liberals.

Architects of Ruin contends that liberal politicians, activists, and financial allies helped trigger the housing bubble and 2008 financial crisis by pushing easy credit, risky mortgages, and interventions Schweizer argues distorted the market in the name of social justice.

Throw Them All Out examines how members of Congress allegedly profit from insider stock tips, earmarks, land deals, and access to federal contracts, arguing that permissive rules let lawmakers enrich themselves while similar behavior would threaten ordinary investors with prosecution.

Extortion argues that modern politicians do not simply accept bribes but actively shake down industries and donors, using committee assignments, regulatory threats, and stalled legislation to extract contributions that then support campaigns, PACs, and comfortable lifestyles.

Bush Bucks investigates Jeb Bush's post-governor income, tracing how companies that benefited from his policies in Florida later hired him for consulting, board seats, and speaking work, and raising questions about the blurry line between public service and private gain.

Clinton Cash follows the money surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton after they left the White House, focusing on speaking fees and donations to the Clinton Foundation and suggesting that foreign governments and corporations used those payments to seek influence over U.S. policy.

Secret Empires describes what Schweizer calls corruption by proxy, in which the children and associates of powerful officials enter lucrative overseas deals, especially in places like China and Ukraine, that may benefit from their relatives' political access.

Profiles in Corruption turns that lens on well-known progressive politicians, exploring the businesses, nonprofits, and family arrangements around them to argue that many have quietly mixed public power with private enrichment and special treatment for insiders.

Red-Handed investigates financial and institutional ties between American elites and entities linked to the Chinese state, alleging that politicians, technology leaders, financiers, universities, and even sports figures have helped advance Beijing's interests while pursuing their own.

Blood Money argues that the Chinese regime and its partners are driving deadly threats such as fentanyl and tainted products into the United States, while powerful American figures and institutions look away or profit, leaving ordinary Americans to bear the human cost.
