“I first heard Ed Erler explain, succinctly, the foundation and meaning of American citizenship when I was a student. Since then I’ve studied, and learned from, all of Ed’s writings on the subject. This is not just Ed’s definitive statement on the subject; it is the definitive statement on the subject. Case closed.”
— Michael Anton, senior fellow at Claremont Institute, former national security official in the Trump administration, and author of The Stakes
