Review: Keeping the Republic
3 stars.
Governor Mitch Daniels’ book, “Keeping the Republic: Saving America by Trusting Americans,” differs greatly from the typical politician’s book. It isn’t ghost-written, altruistic or pompous. Most importantly, it is readable. Daniels is straightforward when he writes,“America is in trouble.” The intimidating economic crisis is skillfully broken down into workable terms. One of the most admirable aspects of the book is the governor’s use of rhetoric. Carefully selected words can shape a reader’s opinion, such as the repeated use of “statism” when applied to liberals. Daniels does an admirable job of outlining a potential solution to the crisis we find ourselves in, but take the book for what it truly is: an outline for the Presidential campaign we never got to see.
