If you want to wake somebody up, give them this book. I just wish it went into more detail on his foreign policy. He gives a good baseline of foreign policy and great understanding of everything else. I thought he was too much of a pacifist after I read this book. I've heard him reiterate on some other shows and now I understand that he is only a pacifist when it comes to aggression, which makes a lot of sense. I heard him say they should never go to war unless they are attacked, and if the U.S. is attacked, they must destroy the enemy fast and thoroughly so that the troops can get back home and no one will ever want to mess with the U.S. again. He doesn't want wars costing America respect, or future generations trillions and trillions of dollars. This is really a great book. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.Read full review

Freedom, Liberty, Limiting Government's Influence over your day to day life, Economy....... If any of these topics peaks your interest, and as an American Citizen I sure hope they do, then this book is a must! Many political books are so bogged down in language that is, in my opinion purposely vague and technical, Dr Paul writes with humor and urgency that is evident in every page. And he asks the questions that others don't have the guts to ask. For example, why are we spending trillions of dollars every year to keep military bases in countries that to not need or want our presence? Why do we push our Democratic ideology on other governments, yet oppose when the people choose a leader that has views that go against America? Why can the government not see that without the gold standard our money is quickly becoming valueless? He not only asks the questions, he give plenty of resources for the reader to see for themselves where his information comes from. In short, if you believe that our Constitution is to be upheld as written, and not to be bent to the convenience of what government wants to accomplish at any given time, if you want to learn more about where your tax dollars are going, if you believe that each person is entitled to freedom and liberty, I urge you to buy, beg, or borrow a copy of this book! Everyone could benefit from questioning the authority. It's what our forefathers counted on when drafting the Constitution! So, no matter who you are supporting this November, give this book a go.Read full review
By far the most comprehensive overview on the philosophy behind the freedom movement ever written. Not only does Dr. Paul cover a ton of important topics but he writes in a way that makes usually hard subjects like the economy and foreign policy easy for the average person to understand. If you have been looking at America and trying to figure out what went wrong, you need to read this book. If you value freedom and liberty and the American dream you should not only read this book but tell your family and friends about it. Seriously, it is hands down the best book I have ever read. 5 HUGE Stars.
After reading this book, It opened my eyes to alot of things that not too many people talk about anymore, such as personal freedoms. Its amazing how much Government can change when a generation turns its back and stops paying attention to what those whom we put in power do with it. I encourage anyone who hasnt heard about Ron Paul, have head about him, and even those who dont support him to give the book a read. It would be in everyone's best interest to have this knowledge.
Excellent manifesto on the true nature of the American government. Congressman Paul reconfirms what most Americans already suspect that politicians in Washington are servants to the highest bidder and not the American people. Straight forward and easy to read expose of the real issues politicians do not want to discuss. A must read for every freedom loving American. Congrats to Congressman Paul for his honesty, integrity, and genuine concern for the people of the United States.
