SUMMARY:Military History Book Club – September 2026
DESCRIPTION:Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution\n  \nPlease arrive by 7:15 a.m. to order from the menu.  Breakfast is $15. Discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. \nThe discussion will be guided by: COL USA (Ret) JP Hogan: AUSA Leadership Education Fellow \n  \nOn the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, law professor\, legal analyst\, and bestselling author of The Indispensable Right Jonathan Turley explores how the unique origins of American democracy set it apart from other revolutions\, whether it can survive and thrive in the 21st century\, and how the unfinished story of the revolution will play out in a rapidly changing world. \nThis is a book about revolutions. Most countries are the progeny of revolution. At the birth of this nation\, the Founding Fathers faced the quintessential question of self-governance: how do you keep democracy from devolving into violent anarchy or brutal despotism? Drawing on little-known facts from the founding\, Jonathan Turley reveals how the United States escaped the cycles of violence and instability that plagued other democratic movements\, from ancient Athens to 19th-century France. \nAs the nation approaches a new era marked by artificial intelligence\, robotics\, and profound economic shifts\, America must again withstand the pressure of radical forces that seek to curtail our natural liberties under the guise of popular reform. In this crisis of faith\, many politicians and pundits are questioning the very principles of American democracy\, and some law professors are even calling for scrapping the Constitution. \nSynthesizing sources from history to philosophy to the arts\, Turley offers a hopeful account of how the lessons of the past can guide us through today’s “crisis of faith” in democracy and see us into the future. He notes: “From redcoats to robots\, our challenges have changed. Yet\, we have remained. Our greatest danger is not forgetting the history detailed in this book\, but forgetting who we were in that history.” \nRSVP to Bob Epstein at: macabee1948@gmail.com \nINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
