Synopsis:
The inspiring life and uncensored views of a veteran,
patriot, former Congressman, conservative icon, and
warrior for personal liberty…
Over the course of the past few decades, Allen West has
had many titles bestowed on him, among them Lt.
Colonel, U.S. Representative, “Dad,” and Scourge of the
Far Left. He rose from humble beginnings in Atlanta
where his father instilled in him a code of conduct that
would inform his life ever after. Throughout his years
leading troops, raising a loving family, serving as
Congressman in Florida’s 22nd district, and emerging as
one of the most authentic voices in conservative politics,
West has never compromised the core values on which
he was raised--family, faith, tradition, service, honor,
fiscal responsibility, courage, freedom.
Today, these values are under attack as never before,
and as the far Left intensifies its assaults, few have been
as vigorous as West in pushing back. He refuses to let
up, calling out an Obama administration that cares more
about big government than following the Constitution, so-
called black “leaders” who sell out their communities in
exchange for pats on the head, and a segment of the
media that sees vocal black conservatives as threats to
be shot down.
Now more than ever, the American republic needs a
guardian--a principled, informed conservative who
understands where we came from, who can trace the
philosophical roots of our faith and freedom, and who has
a plan to get America back on track. Allen West isn’t
afraid to speak truth to power, and in this book he’ll
share the experiences that shaped him and the beliefs he
would die to defend.
Guardian of the Republic is not simply the title of this
powerful book. It's what the Founders demanded of
such a soldier. From the battlefields of Iraq and
Afghanistan to the combat of Capitol Hill and beyond,
he has fought tirelessly and fearlessly for the American
idea. This is a passionate clarion call to restore that
idea—-"the last best hope of earth," in the words of
Lincoln—-before it's too late." *****—-Monica Crowley,
