This vigorous call-to-arms to reignite American citizenship in the home and restore American power abroad from the Fox News contributor and decorated Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran uses the timeless truths of Teddy Roosevelt’s iconic “Man in the Arena” speech, and “is a must-read that underscores our collective responsibility to restore America’s role as an exceptional…global leader” (Senator John McCain).

Pete Hegseth makes “an impassioned, wide-ranging” (Rich Lowry, editor of National Review) about In the Area: Good Citizens, an excellent Republic, and exactly how One Speech Can Reinvigorate America argument for how Teddy Roosevelt’s articulation of “great citizens,” “equality of opportunity,” and unapologetic US leadership-“great patriots”-may renew our imperiled American experiment and save the free world, with this interesting “road-map for rejecting drop and forging another American century” (Mark Levin).

Despite contention surrounding Teddy Roosevelt’s legacy, Hegseth argues that this Rough Rider’s exhortation acts as a timeless wake-up demand our Republic. To be able to rejuvenate what makes America exceptional, we should unapologetically get back in to Roosevelt’s arena-as engaged “good people” in the home and effective “good patriots” in the world.

Bolstered by Teddy Roosevelt’s words, Hegseth visited battle for our country and relates his gripping personal encounter. He argues an outstanding American test was entrusted to “typical people” in 1776 and continues to be perpetuated by every generation since…until now. If we won’t battle for America, after that exactly what will we fight for? And if not really now, when? Enter the arena!
