First published 2020
Oliver North sits down with military veterans across America who served their country with honor but now wrestle with doubt. These men and women once believed deeply enough in American values to risk everything in combat. They deployed to distant battlefields convinced they were protecting something sacred. Now they watch progressive movements challenge the foundations they thought they were defending. The interviews reveal soldiers who loved their nation enough to face death for it but wonder if that same nation still exists. Each conversation exposes the growing gap between the America they served and the America they see today. Veterans who never questioned their mission abroad now question whether their sacrifice meant anything at all. North captures their struggle to reconcile their service with a country that seems to reject its own history and values.
