Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation is a 2022 #1 New York Times bestseller co-authored by Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin. Published by Broadside Books (an imprint of HarperCollins), it critiques a century-long progressive influence on American education, arguing that it has led to indoctrination, declining academic skills, and anti-American sentiment among students in public, homeschool, and even many Christian schools. The book traces these shifts from early 20th-century priorities of industrial preparation over classical learning and advocates for a return to classical Christian education rooted in virtue, excellence, Judeo-Christian heritage, patriotism, and Western Civilization principles to restore educational foundations. It is the best-selling book on education in over 20 years, remained on the bestseller list for 12 weeks, and has been endorsed by figures including Victor Davis Hanson, John MacArthur, and Mark Levin. It is tied to media like the Fox Nation documentary The Miseducation of America and events at the Reagan Library, with promotion through conservative outlets and the Association of Classical Christian Schools.
