This is it, Freepers! A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus' Great Discovery to the War on Terror goes on sale today!

Freepers, if you love history, and, more important, if you think that there has been a void in the telling of America's REAL history, this book is for you.

Thanks to you several Freepers who have read and commented on parts of this book. It is already the winner of February's Lysander Spooner Award for literature that advances the cause of liberty, and we are in talks with Fox and other outlets for a media blitz to take place during the official "roll out" in the second week of January. Meanwhile, if you are returning Christmas gifts and didn't get that "stocking stuffer," by all means, this is it!

I'll be happy to autograph copies if any Freeper wants to send me their copy, tell me to whom they want it inscribed or what they want it to say, and provide a postage-paid return envelope!

Thanks.

I'm going into a room with a non-internet computer for a few months until I've finished "Domestic Enemies."

Great to see LS hitting the mark with "A Patriot's History!"

I just ordered the book. Thank you for writing it. We will be studying American History next year with our son. We usually just use very dry Christian textbooks for history, but I like a well written narrative. You have provided another much needed source for our history studies. Thank you for all the hard work. I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for Domestic Enemies. I am looking forward to it.

I am hanging fire on the next case of books, lots of irons in the fire, so to speak...

I just started reading your book (purchased via Amazon) - I should not have started reading it - the first few pages made my stomach sink and I am still uneased by what I read, I have this feeling of dread. This novel works on such a level because the event presented could be true. Many feel and some have written about how deep in our nation's power elite circles people exist like this with agendas of all kinds. I saw what such manipulative powers did over in Bosnia and Kosovo (sorry to sound like a broken record on the Balkans).

Highly recommended reading for this book. It is an intelligent read - not corny or cornball as some first time amateur works on "right wing" topics tend to be but Tom Clancy like in its authorship, professionalism and plausibility both in plot and in character development. The poor patsy in the first few pages not only seemed like a real man - but we know such broken and forgotten men exist living in VA hospitals or on the streets of our cities.

PS: Folks, while this is TG's first book it is not a light book. Lots of pages - bible thick and great for long vacation reading. It has gravitas both in weight and content.
