Whether you are eighteen or eighty-one, work on the factory floor or in the front office, you know something is fundamentally wrong with our great country. "Why did we descend to these depths," asks the author, "and what can we do to right this great ship called America?" In Audacious Destruction George Ball answers these questions by tracing the Rule of Law, a government of laws and not men, back in time over two thousand years to Aristotle and classical Greece and alarmingly bringing us to 2012 with the denigration of this great democratic ideal by the Obama administration. Avoiding legal jargon and even employing a sports analogy or two, George Ball brings the Rule of Law to life while explaining how its principles formed the foundation of the personal freedom and economic success we often take for granted. He also reveals how our current economic crisis results from decades of mistreatment of the Rule of Law. Highlighting Obama's indoctrination by liberal and revolutionary professors at the Harvard Law School, he explains how the president's actions and legislative initiatives have been strikingly similar to the failed policies of Franklin Roosevelt, who also made end-runs around the Rule of Law. Intent on destroying the traditional notion of the Rule of Law ideal, if president Obama wins a second term the tipping point will be reached and he will set us on the "road to serfdom." Although we have much work to do, there is still hope that free enterprise founded on the Rule of Law can, and will, thrive again as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan showed us. George Ball decided to write Audacious Destruction to bring what he considers a national tragedy to the public's attention. Readers interested in politics, a commitment to the Constitution, the stagnant economy, and the economic well-being of their children and grandchildren will find this book honest, powerful, and deeply compelling.

The son of a missionary and a Baptist minister, seventeen-year-old immigrant David George Ball was following his destiny to become a pastor. He had always dreamed of making a difference in people's lives. But when he met the then relatively unknown Martin Luther King Jr., the course of Ball's life changed forever.

In this memoir, "A Marked Heart, Ball" narrates his journey: beginning with growing up in wartime England; immigrating to the United States in 1954 to take the pastor's course at Chicago's Moody Bible Institute; attending Yale University as a scholarship student; and, most importantly, meeting King. Later, he worked on Wall Street as a lawyer, started a family, championed the 401(k) plan, and served as assistant secretary of labor.

"A Marked Heart" describes how Ball's encounter with King inspired the rest of his life's work, and it provides a multifaceted look at his immigration, education, family relationships, career, and his commitment to public service. Though Ball never became a minister, his story communicates how his commitment to God and prayer guided his life.

"A heartwarming portrait of faith pushing back against adversity, in an amazing journey inspired by Martin Luther King."
-The Right Reverend Herman Hollerith IV, Bishop of the Diocese of Southern Virginia Episcopal Church

"In his early life, David George Ball, like Mr. Justice Homes, had the break of being 'touched with fire, ' having a religious father, a strict mother, and contact with Martin Luther King Jr. If this nation is to remain great, such ideas as expressed in David's book should be introduced to persons in their last year of high school or their first year of college."
