Stormer's main book,
None Dare Call It Treason, argued that America was losing the cold war because it was being betrayed by its elites, who were pro-communist. The title of the book is derived from an epigram of Sir
John Harington: "Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason." It was published in 1964, during
Barry Goldwater's bid for the presidency, and sold over one million copies in the first six months. It was distributed in bulk quantities and during the campaign six million copies were circulated. It was immensely influential with the harder-line sections of the American Right and has been described as a cult classic of the
New Right. Because it was published by a private imprint, however, it never appeared on best-seller lists. In the 1968 sequel
The Death of a Nation, Stormer linked collectivism to the work of the
Antichrist and discussed signs of the
end times. In 1990, Stormer published
None Dare Call It Treason... 25 Years Later, which contained the original book expanded with an equally-long update. In 1989, he also wrote that
perestroika and
glasnost were merely Soviet propaganda tools, drawing on KGB-defector
Anatoliy Golitsyn's
New Lies for Old. In 1984, Golytsin predicted that some degree of retreat from hardline communism would be used by the Soviets as a way to fool the West. His 1998 book,
None Dare Call It Education, was an account of how education reforms are undermining academics and traditional values. Written from the point of view of Republican politics and evangelicalism, it claimed, with the help of statistics, a failure of American public schools to perform their stated mission. Another book, ''Growing Up God's Way
, a guide for getting children ready for school and life from birth on, published in 1984, is now in its 10th printing. Spanish and Russian versions have been issued. His final book, Betrayed by the Bench'', detailed how judicial decisions have transformed the
US Constitution, courts, and culture. ==Bibliography==
