It's about time somebody reminded us about the history of this great nation! The author takes us through the formation of America--with many items I had never heard before--and then links the Cold War Communist attacks on our culture and how their subtle trails remain.

I don't consider myself a blatant Conservative but found the author's personal experiences to be inspiring and the "how to" material in the final section was practical and insightful. I thought he blended political, volunteer, event coordination and media details in a very easy-to-follow manner. The Q & A with key leaders was right on target.

I am motivated to get involved.

As one who would rather read good, conservative literature than watch the tube, this book was thoroughly disappointing. The concepts presented were simplistic, poorly researched and largely self-serving. Mr. Ankarlo should have worded the title as: "The World According to Me". I should have known that this book was going to be so full of self-promotion by the fact that Mr. Ankarlo has a large picture of himself on the front cover and a full length picture of himself on the back cover as well. Even though I agree with much of what Mr. Ankarlo presents, the lack of depth and sophomoric language rendered the book largely unreadable. Being a huge fan of Glenn Beck, I bought this book in large measure because he wrote the "Foreword". It turns out the "Foreword" was the only redeeming feature of the book. I will continue to be a fan of Glenn Beck, but I will think twice about purchasing books of other authors he endorses.

This is an excellent book written by a great patriot. I found inspiration to actually get involved and do what I can to fix America. I suggest this book for young adults who do not yet have a grasp on where America came from, where it is now, and where it should be.

Now onto my review of the book...
I just finished reading Mr. Ankarlo's book and I am grateful he wrote it! This book opened my eyes to things I was not aware of; you know the kind of things that you should have known and afterwards kind of say to yourself "well duh". This book is insightful, resourceful and provoking; causing the reader to be very aware of the need to stand up and make a difference while providing a plethora of contact information and resources to empower the reader into the action it provokes. Great job Darrell! Great job to all who make a difference! Great job to all those who serve and have served to keep this nation free, THANK YOU! And God bless the USA!!!

Very insightful and interesting. If our public school history curriculum included more of our actual history (like in this book) instead of biased trash written by Ivy League liberals, we might have a more inlightened and realistic America. Good read for finding out where we really came from and where we are heading; and how to change this downward direction.

For anyone who truly wants to make a difference in this country, are concerned about those who are eroding the American way life, and want to stand up for what is right, this book is a must read. I just read it and feel empowered as a single citizen to be able do something! Darrell Ankarlo says everything that has been on my mind for years but I couldn't effectively put into words and didn't know what to do about it. Now I do. This book has given me a reason to stand up and be counted in a more visible way to save the country I love from those who would tear down the moral fiber on which it was built. It will shock you, encourage you, and even bring you to tears in places. But it goes beyond that; it gives detailed, practical ways to use your talents to help this great nation.

If conservatives want to save a rapidly deteriorating country, they must get involved--and quickly. This book tells them how. There is power in one person with conviction standing up for what is right; even more so if two, or three, or a thousand stand together. Please read it--and get involved!

This book will open your eyes as to what is really wrong with America and give you ideas as to how you can fix it on your own. Truly inspirational you will laugh, cry, and cheer while reading this book. Give a listen to the web cast of Mr. Ankarlo off the KLIF site if you need an indication of what is in the book.

I purchased this book thinking I would have help in establishing myself in reclaiming my political power. Afterall, all I can change is myself. But, after
reading the first five pages or so, I was totally turned off by a very strong, right wing
tirade of why the liberals have ruined America and how the red necks of Texas were going to show me how to reclaim what I supposedly have lost. I believe this is the very reason for the polarization of America. Any way, I could not finish the book as it was offensive to me and my conviction that a "how to book" should not be promoting anyone's personal agenda. I do not recommend this book [...]

This is the most detailed and highly researched (and sourced) book I have ever read! I listen to Darrell Ankarlo daily on 570 KLIF in DFW. I'm glad to see that his book is of the same great quality that his daily morning show is. Darrell has changed my life over the course of the last few years. He has opened my eyes to what is going on around me, and is a constant motivator to me and the rest of his audience. Darrell leads by example and encourages others to lead their charge as well. I truly believe the "nay-sayers" whom I see commenting on this book just don't get it!

Ankarlo practically advocates execution of anyone who disagrees with his viewpoints. He especially hates Jews, Catholics, Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics. And he exploits his son's service in the military for his own financial gain. His book is an advertisement to buy his book, advising readers that they can reach idealogical nirvana if they sleep in a bathtub full of his books.

Why do you hate America so much, Mr. Ankarlo? Why do you want to burn the City of Boston to the ground? Every time you open your mouth, George W. Bush weeps. Every time you congratulate yourself for your son's military service, McCain cringes. Every time you mention your book on your show, Cheney nearly has another heart attack. And, yes, when you espouse your "the Republic must fall" viewpoints, even Ann Coulter blushes.

Save us all the trouble and stay in your bunker without a laptop - so you CAN'T write another piece of garbage.
