Aaron Clements took it upon himself to prevent misinterpretations of the Words of The Constitution. The veteran of The War of Independence was a humble subsistence farmer eking out a living in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina; he did not relish the thought of standing before the Founding Fathers to influence their thinking...but he knew it had to be done and there was no one else to do it. Aaron Clements was the only man in the newly formed United States who knew the secrets of his future.

Aaron Clements feared subsequently contingent interpretations of The Words of The Constitution more than he feared any man. Those misguided interpretations could do more harm to the liberties of the citizens than could any misguided politician. Aaron put his fortune and life at risk to save a nation that was struggling to find its way. John Gaspereti, Homeland Security Director, put his career at risk to save a nation that did not even know it was in danger. Charles Setters facilitated the actions of both men even though they were centuries apart.

Aaron Clements is a man out of time. Worse, his wife and three daughters are in the same situation. His only hope lies in the hands of a stranger, Charles Setters. Winning The War of Independence was not a guarantee that the fledgling United States of America would always be a bastion of freedom and liberty for its citizens. Aaron learns that bitter lesson and resolves to ensure his nation does not eventually lose The War of Independence to greed and power seekers. Charles Setters believes it is not treason to overthrow tyrants. He also believes in making an easy dollar.

The bestselling historians turn their focus to America’s role in the world since the end of World War II Schweikart, author of the number one New York Times bestseller A Patriot’s History of the United States, and Dougherty take a critical look at America, from the postwar boom to her search for identity in the twenty-first century. The second volume of A Patriot’s History of the Modern World picks up in 1945 with a world irrevocably altered by World War II and a powerful, victorious United States. But new foes and challenges soon arose: the growing sphere of Communist influence, hostile dictatorships and unreliable socialist allies, the emergence of China as an economic contender, and the threat of world Islamification. The book reestablishes the argument of American exceptionalism and the interplay of our democratic pillars—Judeo-Christian religious beliefs, free market capitalism, land ownership, and common law—around the world. Schweikart and Dougherty offer a fascinating conservative history of the last six decades.
