About the Book

An AMERICAN PATRIOT'S history lesson.

A book every American should own and read.

"The PEOPLE are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our LIBERTY." Thomas Jefferson

"A HOUSE DIVIDED against itself cannot stand." Abraham Lincoln

"FREEDOM of SPEECH is a principal pillar of a free government; When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and TYRANNY is erected on its ruins." Benjamin Franklin

My Review

Join, or Die. Offers Exactly the Material Readers Should Expect. The author begins with a Patriot's history lesson as he presents the text or the various Oaths of Office,The Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. He doesn't offer his commentary on those texts--he simply shares the words of the texts. Next--he presents a host of quotes, ranging from early American history to present-day speakers, politicians, leaders, and personalities. While not all of his selections come from Conservatives and Patriots--he highlights phrases from each quote that conform to the ideas he seeks to convey.

Reading with an Open Mind May Be Difficult. With strategically placed capitalization and text changes, the author creates a lot of directives on his pages to ensure that readers catch his desired takeaways. If you are far left-leaning--this book is not for you. If you are a middle-of-the-political road reader--this book may not be your cup of tea either. The presentation doesn't leave much open for personal interpretation. It is titled An American Patriot's Book of Quotes. It is that.

Would I Recommend Join, or Die by R. Blake Wilson? Setting my personal political views aside, this is a book for the American Patriot--and the author writes to that audience. It isn't a book to please every reader--it is one for the Patriot readers. I didn't personally love the presentation of the material--I felt too overly bombarded with capitalized FREEDOM, TYRANNY, LIBERTY--but, the author captured a variety of quotes and incorporated them effectively into his desired message for his target audience.
