Davenport Attorney Nathan W. Tucker, besides being a practicing criminal defense attorney, is a constitutional scholar and articulate defender of the natural rights principles behind our founding documents.
He has written a number of scholarly but also compelling articles for the Iowa Republican. In his latest book Letters From Cell No. 73 the compelling aspect of Tucker’s skills have been matched with a sort of ~ letters from St Paul ~ literary approach that succinctly warns general readers how our nation’s political path is a corruption of our heritage and the way of destruction.
The book is available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. At 160 pages it is a quick read and fundamentally useful as a innovative civics discourse and a commentary on the current state of governmental affairs. R Mall
Overview from the book cover:
Captured as a prisoner of war during the Second Mexican-American War in 2034, Col. Peter Iossi writes to his grandchildren in hopes that their generation will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Writing from Cell No. 73, the colonel describes America’s collapse into bankruptcy, anarchy, despotism, secession, and a nuclear war with its neighbor to its south.
As he concludes: “The modern welfare, administrative, social-democratic state cannot govern without violating man’s natural rights. It is the antithesis of liberty, and no amount of reform can make it otherwise. It bankrupts the national soul, and then it bankrupts the nation.”
To guide his grandchildren in the formation of their new country, the colonel explains what it means to be a constitutional conservative, and provides six nonnegotiable principles that will ensure their new country does not follow America’s slide into socialism.
