Books offering opposing viewpoints and unique takes on current events always catch my eye. I believe that learning what makes others tick can be helpful in the long run. As a public school educator of over 25 years, I was intrigued and felt compelled to read D. Jonathan Scott’s most recent work, and I was not disappointed.

The Rise and Fall of the American Republic offers readers a complete breakdown of the current status of the government of the United States, its history, and what today’s structure looks like compared to its beginnings. Scott goes into great depth as he explains the results of his research into Communism’s appearance in the United States. Scott’s research is thorough, and his examination of Socialism and Communism gives readers a unique perspective on which to contemplate.

Christianity and anything that stands as a threat to it are important in Scott’s examination of current political events in the United States. Readers who are concerned with maintaining a Christian-based society will appreciate Scott’s research, especially when it comes to schools, the media, and laws. Scott has gone to great lengths to help explain how far our country has strayed from its original plans and how that has impacted each and every aspect of our lives today.

As a teacher, I found Scott’s research on education particularly interesting. It’s always enlightening to hear another perspective on public schools and how our children are being taught. Scott not only shares the results of meticulous research, but he gives a list of suggestions for getting our country back on track.

The Rise and Fall of the American Republic is thorough and enlightening and I highly recommend it, although at times it does feel like a textbook. I recommend Scott’s work to anyone looking for a carefully researched explanation of today’s political climate as well as a hard, no-holds-barred breakdown of all that is wrong with our country. Scott minces no words, and his work will resonate with many a reader.
