Roger Westlin wrote this book for a reason. Likely, if you are reading this, you are doing so for the same reason—concern over what you see happening to our nation. Since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, with the George Floyd/Black Lives Matter riots, the insinuation of cancel culture, censorship, efforts to defund police, Critical Race Theory, and the popularization of LGBQT and WOKE identity politics, one would have to be blind and deaf to not sense that something was seriously amiss in our society.

Roger Westlin
Now in his 70’s, Roger Westlin is the son of a World War II veteran who fought in the European theatre and had a hand in taking down Hitler’s country home. Though not one himself, as a very young boy he lived in several orphanages, where he saw a harder side of life. Like most baby-boomers, Roger grew up verypatriotic. As soon as he was old enough he became an avid Boy Scout, achieving the rank of “Life”, just below “Eagle.” An art major in college, when duty called he enlisted in the military, and it was upon discharge that he embarked on his career as a troubleshooter. In that capacity Roger handled problems for many clients, ranging from Hollywood types and big business to governments, military, and those concerned with drug corruption wars. Throughout all this he kept his hand in education, finding a purpose in trying to improve that experience for others. His entire adult life has been spent in efforts to make this world a safer and better place than how he found it.
