THEY SAID IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN.
NOT IN AMERICA.
THEY WERE WRONG.
When political parties view each other as evil, when
compromise becomes impossible, the republic dies, and
the Constitution dies with it. My father, my hero, was
going to lead our nation with moral character and West
Point inspired standards. When “inspired” became
literal, and all opposition was destroyed, I had to
chronicle what really happened or the world would
never know the truth. My father’s entire life in the
United States Army was predicated on one man giving
an order and everyone else following it. He wasn’t a
“threat to democracy”—he was an enigmatic fact. And
he needed to be stopped.
