Jim DeMints new book, Saving American from Socialism , is a disturbing work. It is tough on both Republicans and Democrats. It tells the truth, frightening though it may be, and calls all Americans to account for the loss of freedom in our country. This hard-hitting expos is a must read and will challenge all to a recognition of what is truly happening in America. While DeMint is an optimist and feels there is hope, I truly hope that the impact this book can make is not too late.

This book was first published under the title Saving Freedom, when I was a U.S. senator, in 2009. The subtitle was We Can Stop Americas Slide Into Socialism . The book reached the New York Times bestseller list, but overall sales indicated only a relatively small group of Americans believed freedom was in jeopardy or socialism was a major threat. In fact, I discovered my use of the word socialism was considered by many to be hyperboleexaggerated fear-mongering.
