I’ve never liked “cover reveals.” I understand why they matter to publishers, but this one had to tell the truth: no heroes, no marble—just struggle, endurance, and the fight to make freedom real and enduring.

Book's done. Goes to copyedit now. Out of my hands.
There's something in there to tick off just about anyone - at least if you rely on bad principles, bad politics, and bad history to get you through.
For everyone else: American resistance has a way, and that way has a history. This book is it.
