An Objective Perspective.
What we need today is people that can think independently, honestly, and comprehensively as in the enlightenment days of American history (See our large collection of such classic works online: TruthInHeart.com of men who took their stand as Boyl does today.) As demonstrated in this book, this generation is overrun with crafty schemers that multiply their sophisticated agendas, or else who pay people to do such for them. We are smart enough today to get only what we really want; while anything that contradicts gets the standard response of 'O don't tell me anymore, I don't want to hear it.' We have no more responsibilities anymore. In America someone is taking care of us in just about any conceivable department of life. We no longer really need to know how to do anything to survive or succeed in what we wish for. Just imagine that! and you can have it. We have been shaped from the cradle to get whatever we want as long as we go with the flow or can pay enough to buy reality.

Any student of history can see that our generation is ripe for the greedy picking. And as long as the general people are pacified and slowly boiled they will not take the time to even consider counting the cost of manly independence. We are stunned by the absolute present, and a few days perhaps, into the future. We do not have the time to search things out like "Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law". Why bother anyway, when it will only ruin our reputations and agendas?

Let me tell you that a real citizen of any country has his heart set on the highest interests and not merely those of the fleeting surface. If there are any real men today who are independent, honest, and thorough, then they will consider all of the implications or effects of their actions; and if they have any wisdom they will consider the foundations of the times. Boyl seems to be such a courageous fellow who is willing to call America back to dignity and maturity. His rare post as Instructor of International Law prepares him to consider our times and sphere objectively. And as people so caught up with the present, and so dependent upon 'authorities,' we should give our undivided attention to such a man when he calls us to be accountable for forsaking all the counsel of our fathers and all the wisdom of the ages. We won't listen until we see for ourselves! Until the very things happen to us that were warned in this book.

This book will not only give you facts about how you have been duped by just accepting popular opinion, but if it is considered will help you to begin to understand some of the real responsibilities of government and the people. There are many contributions in this book, but the most important is its magnetic call for independent, honest, and thorough heroes to rebuild the fallen walls.
