Summary
"Liberty's Secrets exposes readers to the Founding Fathers as never before. Charles has cataloged all of the Founding Father's writings and in Liberty's Secrets provides an exposé of their profound yet glossed-over writings, delving into the subjects most important to maintaining a free society at a time when we most need to recover them. Liberty's Secrets equips those who already respect the Founders, as well as to destroy many of the cultural myths for those yearning for liberty"--Provided by publisher
