James O’Keefe’s Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy is a New York Times Bestseller!

Hailed by David Weigel in Slate as having โ€œhad more of an impact on the 2012 election than any journalist,โ€ James Oโ€™Keefe is young, brash, and provocative: a new breed of guerrilla reporter for the twenty-first century. He and his associates have famously infiltrated some of Americaโ€™s most protected organizations and institutions. They have challenged politicians, bureaucrats, media moguls, union bosses, and election officials, all with the goal of exposing the lies and malfeasance heretofore hidden from the public. Now, Oโ€™Keefe chronicles the harrowing undercover investigation that opened Americaโ€™s eyes to the chicanery of its state houses and the duplicity of the White House during one of the most compromised election campaigns in our nationโ€™s history: the 2012 presidential race.

Of all his controversial sting operations, this was the one that his late mentor, Andrew Breitbart, called โ€œhis most consequential.โ€ While still on federal probation, Oโ€™Keefe organized an army of citizen journalists, planned a series of video stings to reveal the American systemโ€™s vulnerability to voter fraud, and went nose to nose with the most powerful political machine in the world. Along the way, Oโ€™Keefe found disheartening evidence that Americans are not nearly as free a people as we may believe, but he also showed just how much real change ordinary citizens can bring about when they are willing to risk the wrath of the powerful. In just a few years, Oโ€™Keefe and his citizen journalism corps, Project Veritas, uncovered systemic corruption at ACORN, leading to its defunding by Congress; exposed the contemptuous biases of NPR executives leading to the resignation of two of their top people and a vote to freeze NPR funding by the House of Representatives; showed the callous indifference of New Jersey Educational Association officials to taxpayers and students; and revealed the easy tolerance of fraud at Planned Parenthood, Medicaid, HUD, and other government agencies. Perhaps most important, their work inspired several states to reform their election laws. Free of ideology, Breakthrough is at its core a clarion call for a more ethical society. Despite being vilified and libeled by an establishment media dedicated to suppressing the truth, James Oโ€™Keefe has dared to break through the firewall and reshape public opinion by showing things as they really are.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s new book Breakthrough is a spine-tingling, true crime thriller about the quest for truth in the age of media obfuscationโ€ฆ his book reads more like Gulliverโ€™s Travels than a story about political journalism.”  Author: Gavin McInnes, Fox News Red Eye Contributor

โ€œOโ€™Keefe and his colleagues provide an example of whatโ€™s right about the craft of journalism.โ€ Author: Christopher Harper, Washington Times op-ed

“The new book by James Oโ€™Keefe, makes clear this problem to armchair patriots who think someone else is better qualified to engage in direct action. It is a how-to guide for a modern activist craving a blueprint for action.” Author: J. Christian Adams, publisher of PJ Media

“Code Veritas: James O’Keefe is back…This intellectual heir to Andrew Breitbart has produced a devastating attack on the smeary leftist establishment.” Author: Roger Kimball, editor-in-chief of The New Criterion and publisher of Encounter Books

“In 320 gripping pages, 28-year-old O’Keefe describes being thrust under the national microscopeโ€ฆO’Keefe’s bookโ€”which serves simultaneously as a memoir, a manifesto, a tell-all and an activist handbookโ€”the reader watches a young man grow up, wise up and toughen up.” Author: Chris Moody, Yahoo News

“Fast-paced enough to be a summer beach read, yet substantial enough to stand as a serious criticism of government and media, Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s tale of his whirlwind past four years will have your stomach churning and your blood boiling, but in the end will make you want to stand up and cheer. A splendid change of pace from the standard format political books follow.
