First published 2023
Constitutional lawyer and Missouri Senator Josh Hawley argues that masculine character forms the backbone of free society. He traces this principle from ancient Greek and Roman thinkers through Jesus of Nazareth to America's founding generation. Hawley identifies core male strengths including responsibility, bravery, fidelity, and leadership as pillars that sustain republican government. He demonstrates how contemporary attacks on masculinity in schools, media, workplaces, and government threaten liberty itself. Drawing on Theodore Roosevelt's conviction that state survival depends on citizen character, Hawley shows why business matters less than manhood. The book connects ancient wisdom with American historical lessons to make a case for male virtue in modern times. Hawley provides practical guidance for men seeking to fulfill their roles as husbands, fathers, and citizens in defense of justice and truth.
