Imagine living at a time when the only debate over liberty was how best to secure and nurture it, rather than how to forge more chains and slip them on the serfs all unawares.
Imagine an era when your friends and relatives despised the State’s shackles as much as you do, nor did anyone mistake them for trendy bracelets.
Imagine overthrowing oppressors rather than hailing them as “public servants” and “heroes.”
Ready to visit that fleeting moment in history? Then grab your copy of Abducting Arnold (and Halestorm, too, while you’re at it). I’m offering e-copies at 1/3 off the regular price to commemorate the 238th anniversary of Saratoga’s final battle—a pivotal victory during the American Revolution that we owe in large part to Benedict Arnold.
Who, were he to survey our pitiful political servitude today, might exclaim as he did after the Boston Massacre, “Good God! Are Americans all asleep and tamely giving up their glorious liberties, or are they all turned philosophers that they don’t take vengeance on [tyrants]?”
