Bag om O'Banion, D: National Fidelity
National Fidelity is at heart a book about a love story. Additionally this counter-extremist book is evidence that there is more to life than politics, more to justice than popular opinions, more to culture than stereotypes, and more to Western history than names, dates, and blame.
Originally conceived as a survival book for his own difficult early life, then later formed into a gift for his own children (and the co-author's grandchildren), principal author Douglas Matthew O'Banion necessarily leaves some private loose ends, but few public loose ends in this diverse book that begins with historical events that open discussions about modern society, dystopias, and some often-overlooked basic understandings concerning Western jurisprudence.
Written in common language with care toward young adult readers and foreigners whom may not be familiar with the West, National Fidelity examines crucial topics with the aid of ancient oral history and modern Western interests. While doing so, this British book rests in the middle of the timeless battle between superstition and rationalism: the rugged intellectual soil from which the romantic roots of classical liberalism sprang.
National Fidelity offers new insights into traditional topics and current issues, yet the book never strays far from the ever-present British insight that allows us to know that when we Britons cannot out argue our foes, we will outlast them.
