Drowned in information but starved of truth, stripped of its identity, and ruled by a godless bureaucratic Machine, the United States stood on the precipice of total collapse. In that darkest hour, a patriotic remnant refused the lie. They rose against The Machine to reclaim the righteous certainty of faith and usher in the Second Founding. This is the definitive firsthand memoir of Brutus, Supreme Protector of the Republic during the nation's reconstruction. From his command center at Raven Rock, Brutus recounts the three-year “Surgery of Grace”—the systematic dismantling of the old regime and the restoration of the Republic to its original foundation. Drawing on the wisdom of the Founders, the eternal truths of Scripture, and the iron-clad demands of modern sovereignty, Brutus lays bare the principles of Christian statesmanship that guided a broken nation back to God and its rightful place as the shining city upon a hill. Note: this edition contains a bonus 19 additional foundational texts on faith and civic leadership
