Publisher Description
This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.
- The government is expanding.
- Taxes are increasing.
- More senseless wars are being planned.
- Inflation is ballooning.
- Our basic freedoms are disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . .
In The Revolution, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans."
"Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. The Revolution may cure yours as well.

"For me I wouldn't rate this as a book I would read again. Perhaps a reference to pull an idea from, yes. For anyone well acquainted with libertarian political philosophy it won't challenge. However, to anyone looking to understand a moderate libertarian political world view or to understand Ron Paul and his followers, this is an excellent choice. I give it such a high rating because it is a great book to pass along to a friend or colleague who isn't familiar with libertarianism. Another side effect of this being a politically motivated book is that, it doesn't really give justice to alternate views or the possibility of error. Of course, I have yet to read a libertarian book that doesn't claim to be the out-right political gospel. Par for the course I suppose."

Quotes

“Though his policy suggestions can seem extreme, Paul’s book gives new life to old debates.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Bob Craig is a convincing, low-key narrator for this sort of thing. His mature, low baritone is articulate, gentle, persuasive, calm, and orderly…No rabble-rousing here, just rational common sense.”

" Well written would have made a better candidate than Romney. He is a true Republican. However, had a few things to say about Bush. "
— Barbara, 2/15/2014 -
" No one would mistake me for a Ron Paul supporter, but this was an interesting read. "
— Chris, 1/23/2014 -
" Incredibly short and to the point. I enjoyed Paul's straightforward talk and arguments. "
— Paul, 1/23/2014 -
" It is amazing how simply government can be if we look to the Constitution for guidance. "
— James, 1/23/2014 -
" I picked this book and a few others of Dr. Pauls up prior to his visit to CSU before our February 7th Republican Caucus. I got to meet Dr. Paul during his visit to CSU and he is a very nice guy. Currently I am reading this book. "
— Jon, 12/31/2013 -
" A short but dazzling statement of principles and indictment of our age of political apathy. This book is for our generation what Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" was to the last. "
— Stephen, 12/31/2013 -
" It's nice to read something other than fiction once and a while. Ron Paul was very convincing with his historic, economic, and reasonable arguments. "
— Ange, 12/16/2013 -
" A truly informative manifesto. This book not only gets to the core of the political issues by dismantling all of the riffraff that hides them, but Ron Paul writes with such clarity and charity that he brings unity to all peoples in America without compromise. "
— Michael, 12/11/2013 -
" An interesting read on liberty in America. It was tough for me to get through only because it is very dry and political writing, something I always have a hard time reading. "
— Sarah, 12/1/2013 -
" Every Liberty loving American should read this book. "
— Rebekah, 11/18/2013 -
" Ron Paul discusses some of the reason why the USA is in the big deep hole it is in. Although well reasoned solutions are given, I'm cynical as to any positive actions being taken by the masses. I succumb to despair. "
— Captain_Howdy, 11/3/2013 -
" Whether you agree or disagree with Ron Paul's views, I think everyone should give this a read. "
— Mike, 9/21/2013 -
" For all you libertarians our there, this is a definite must read. Ron Paul is one of the few candidates for US president that actually makes sense, though one can feel that he's sometimes struggling with him being a Christian. "
— Michal, 8/17/2013 -
" Ron Paul rocks my world. "
— Ashley, 6/17/2013 -
" Great, great book with lots of great information, both about what's currently happening in our government and why - and what can and should be done about it. So much of it made me mad - it was hard to read about all the crap that's going on. "
— Wendy, 5/28/2013 -
" Everyone must read it. "
— Ryan, 1/9/2012 -
" Boring... same old theories with minimal historical context. Not insulting Ron Paul's intellect. He's just not a compelling writer. "
— Gee, 11/16/2011 -
" Short, blunt, and to the point. Our government is screwing us! I like Ron Paul, I just wish he had actually put forth an effort to win the presidency. "
— Brian, 11/4/2011 -
" Man - I wish this guy had a chance - VERY informative book, it isn't a stretch to imagine Ron Paul as a contemporary of our founding fathers. Excellent read. "
— Mike, 10/4/2011 -
" It was definitely interesting. I'd love to talk to more people about his points. Definitely good food for thought. "
— Nathaniel, 8/25/2011 -
" Seriously, everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, should read his books (or his political standpoint)! "
— Wing, 6/4/2011 -
" While I differ with Ron Paul on a number of issues, I do think he's dead right about some very important matters a lot of people simply are not talking about, such as our overextended military, disastrous foreign policy, and crippling debt. "
— James, 4/2/2011 -
" A must-read if you're serious about our current governmental/economic debacle. Clear thinking, simple and powerfully put. "
— Robert, 3/24/2011 -
" What Paul believes. Spiffing show! "
— Weathervane, 3/8/2011 -
" When you read this book, your eyes will be opened, and you will want to hug Ron Paul. The man has lasted as long as he has, and has the respect he does for a reason. That's because he's both highly intelligent, and principled. "
— Nate, 2/19/2011 -
" I'd consider myself a Ron Paul fan now. If you are unsatisfied with the performance of our national government, then you should consider reading this book. "
— Paul, 2/3/2011 -
" A common sense description of how the government is over-reaching (far beyond what the constitution allows) in the areas of war making, foreign policy, redistribution programs, health care, monetary manipulation, etc... "
— Dave, 2/1/2011 -
" Great breakdown of Libertarian thought, an excellent intro to new comers. "
— Bob, 1/12/2011 -
" The only politician I can get behind. "
— Bill1971, 1/6/2011 -
" Short book by THE libertarian. "
— Nedland, 12/11/2010
