Synopsis

Over the course of the past few decades, Allen West has had many titles bestowed on him, among them Lt. Colonel, U.S. Representative, "Dad," and Scourge of the Far Left. He rose from humble beginnings in Atlanta where his father instilled in him a code of conduct that would inform his life ever after. Throughout his years leading troops, raising a loving family, serving as Congressman in Florida's 22nd district, and emerging as one of the most authentic voices in conservative politics, West has never compromised the core values on which he was raised: family, faith, tradition, service, honor, fiscal responsibility, courage, freedom.

Today, these values are under attack as never before, and as the far Left intensifies its assaults, few have been as vigorous as West in pushing back. He refuses to let up, calling out an Obama administration that cares more about big government than following the Constitution, so-called black "leaders" who sell out their communities in exchange for pats on the head, and a segment of the media that sees vocal black conservatives as threats to be silenced.

Now more than ever, the American republic needs a guardian: a principled, informed conservative who understands where we came from, who can trace the philosophical roots of our faith and freedom, and who has a plan to get America back on track. West isn't afraid to speak truth to power, and in this book he'll share the experiences that shaped him and the beliefs he would die to defend.

About Allen West

Allen West was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia-in the same neighborhood where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once preached. He is the third of four generations of military members in his family. During his twenty-two-year Army career he commanded troops and deployed to several combat zones. He was elected to Congress in 2010, representing the 22nd district of Florida for one term. A frequent commentator on Fox News and a sought after speaker, he lives with his family in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Excellent book! Allen West discusses his beliefs and what in his upbringing brought him to them. He also sets out in plain English what he believes will make this country the proud, strong, Christian nation it was meant to be. I would LOVE for him to be our President!......more

Goodreads review by David

The reason that I am a Conservative can be summarized by three important influences: 1. The influence of my parents and grandparents. 2. The leadership of President Ronald Reagan which restored American exceptionalism. 3. The Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater The Conscience of a Conservati......more

Goodreads review by Rick

What a wonderfully inspiring book. West is truly one of the good guys, a guy who should one day be president. The book is broken up into several sections dealing with such things as his biography-----especially the lessons he learned from his parents and from his years in the Army, his political vie......more
