Western Values Defended

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There is only one path to shining the light of understanding on the times in which we live, and that is to know our place in history. Contrary to the common notion that history is a dull and dusty topic, Western Values Defended is a punchy and relevant overview of the greatest gems of Western civilisation, and how they came to define the daily character of individual liberty in the West.

Short, sharp and on point, this little book is for everybody who cares about the future of freedom, for those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
