Captured as a prisoner of war during the Second Mexican-American
War in 2034, Col. Peter Iossi writes to his grandchildren in hopes
that their generation will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Writing from Cell No. 73, the colonel describes America's collapse
into bankruptcy, anarchy, despotism, secession, and a nuclear war
with its neighbor to the south. As he concludes: "The modern
welfare, administrative, social-democratic state cannot govern
without violating man's natural rights. It is the antithesis of
liberty, and no amount of reform can make it otherwise. It
bankrupts the national soul, and then it bankrupts the nation." In
explaining the philosophical basis for constitutional conservatism,
Col. Iossi gives his grandchildren six nonnegotiable principles
that will ensure their new country does not follow America's slide
into socialism. Providing a Tocquevillesque critique of modern
American society, these fifteen letters are a novel of political
and constitutional first principles...a must-read for defenders of
liberty everywhere.
