It Can Happen Here. In The Declaration, it does. When Governor Brewster Steele sees the Constitution being torn to shreds, an exploding national debt spelling certain financial ruin, and the country sinking into the morass of social decay, he vows to not let his beloved Texas go down with it, no matter the risk. An assassin's bullet, an attack on a Chief Justice, cyber-slander, and overt defiance of Washington set the wheels in motion in a spellbinding race through what might be the revolution some Americans fear while others pray for. In the tradition of Sinclair Lewis and Allen Drury, nationally best selling author William Hirsch has created The Declaration, a hauntingly powerful novel that dares to ask the question: when government goes too far, what must citizens do? Democracy and freedom require constant vigilance, now more than ever. In The Declaration, discover what happens when a President sees himself as above the law...and a nation tries to free itself from his unrighteous grasp on the levers of power. It's not just a novel. It's a warning of what could happen...and sooner than we think.
