The book discusses the corrosive impact of Political Correctness on the body politic. Political Correctness’s media bias and the “self-guilt” they propagate are leading to</p><p>the demise of Democracy throughout the world. Up From the Ashes understands that the true friends and allies of Democracy are beginning to stir and push back against the tide of Political Correctness’s dictatorship on thought. It’s a story that predicts and outlines the coming struggle between said dictatorship and the growing forces willing to defend Democracy at any cost.</p><p><strong>Bob Mannino&nbsp;</strong>is a student of history and a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel who, among other duties, worked for a little more than</p><p>ten years as a covert agent against the Soviet KGB and GRU, oftentimes meeting with them in East Berlin and undergoing Soviet- administered lie detector tests. After his retirement, Bob worked a number of years for defense contractors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Upon returning home, he volunteered to work at the ground level for political parties to understand how politics are conducted at the street level.</p>","author_name":"jdouglas barker"}
