This vigorous call-to-arms to reignite American citizenship at home and restore American power abroad by the Fox News contributor and decorated Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran uses the timeless truths of Teddy Rooseveltâs iconic âMan in the Arenaâ speech, and âis a must-read that underscores our collective responsibility to restore Americaâs role as an exceptionalâŚglobal leaderâ (Senator John McCain).
Pete Hegseth makes âan impassioned, wide-rangingâ (Rich Lowry, editor of National Review) argument for how Teddy Rooseveltâs articulation of âgood citizens,â âequality of opportunity,â and unapologetic US leadershipââgood patriotsââcan renew our imperiled American experiment and save the free world, in this fascinating âroad-map for rejecting decline and forging another American centuryâ (Mark Levin).
Despite contention surrounding Teddy Rooseveltâs legacy, Hegseth argues that the Rough Riderâs exhortation serves as a timeless wake-up call for our Republic. In order to rejuvenate what makes America exceptional, we must unapologetically get back into Rooseveltâs arenaâas engaged âgood citizensâ at home and powerful âgood patriotsâ in the world.
Bolstered by Teddy Rooseveltâs words, Hegseth went to war for our country and relates his gripping personal experience. He argues that an exceptional American experiment was entrusted to âaverage citizensâ in 1776 and has been perpetuated by every generation sinceâŚuntil now. If we wonât fight for America, then what will we fight for? And if not now, then when? Get in the arena!
