I received a missive from the RNC this morning regarding Natan Sharansky’s new book, “The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror.” Their recommendation follows:
“He [Sharansky] affirms President Bush’s belief that peace can be achieved in the Middle East if we stay true to the ideals of democracy and the principles that make America thrive.
Optimism. President Bush relies on it as a key element for securing peace and freedom around the world. Sharansky agrees with the President’s optimistic approach. He doesn’t question whether we can bring democracy to the Middle East, but argues that it’s critical for security around the world, and with strength, determination, and fierce optimism, we will combat tyranny and terror and make great strides towards world peace.
Natan Sharansky wrote The Case for Democracy from his unique experience having served in Israeli politics for the last decade and having committed his life to promoting democracy. A former Soviet dissident who became the victim of totalitarian brutality under Communism and who shared his experience to advise President Reagan in the Cold War, Sharansky never gave up hope that tyranny would be overcome and the Soviet Union dismantled. With the current terror threat, Sharansky advocates the same hope and optimism. He fully endorses President Bush’s commitment to the War on Terror for advancing human rights and creating a safer world and brighter future.”
(The Case for Democracy is also available at most online booksellers and bookstores across the nation)
