Liddy lays out a straight, strong, and concise point that America has lost any demonstrable appreciation for freedom and its price. Earlier generations expected high casualties and grizzly fighting in contrast to the modern expectations for sanitized war. He argues that gun ownership is not only a right, but nearly an obligation, and that the education establishment is completely failing and doesn't know how to succeed. He delivers a very personal argument for people becoming truly educated, to fight for their rights, to learn to prevail (rather than survive), and to exercise will and self-reliance. He points out the folly of fear. His last chapter revisits Watergate, where he addresses recent, unsuccessful defamation suits against him. My favorite point - he shows that men who prevail tend to call things what they are because they know that you have to see and treat the truth as such. If you have a weakness, you realize it so you can overcome exactly what it is. ( )
