Author: Ron Paul
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing (2008)
Binding: Hardcover, 192 pages

The contents include a brief preface, seven chapters, and a bibliographic appendix. The preface emphasizes that the book was written to contrast Paul's ideas against "the deadening consensus that crosses party lines, that dominates our major media". Chapter 1 carries this theme by describing recent American elections as false dilemmas and presenting the message of freedom and individual rights as rallying a new widespread revolution, yet one grounded in the tradition of Robert Taft Republicanism.
