John Andrews in eighty years has witnessed fully one-third of American history, reckoning from the end of the Revolutionary War to the end of the Biden presidency. Fascinated with politics from boyhood, he has been a naval submarine officer, presidential speechwriter, nominee for governor, state senator, public policy entrepreneur, broadcaster, and author. This book is a heartfelt reflection on what he has seen and heard from a front-row seat on the great events of our times. Will the beloved republic succumb to decline? Not if patriots like us can help it, Andrews avows.
