� Barring major cultural and societal shifts, at least one American lawmaker believes so. "In Mortal Danger" lays out the case that the hub of Western civilization, the United States, is on course to the dustbin of history. Like the great and mighty empires of the past�superpowers that once stretched from horizon to horizon�America is heading down the road to ruin.
English historian Edward Gibbon, in penning his classic "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (ironically published in the year America's Founding Fathers declared independence from Great Britain), theorized that Rome fell because it rotted from within. It succumbed to barbarian invasions because of a loss of civic virtue, its citizens became lazy and soft, hiring barbarian mercenaries to defend the empire because they were unwilling to defend it themselves. Congressman Tancredo thinks America is following in the tragic footsteps of Rome.
"Tom Tancredo is a rare breed in Washington who puts principle above ego and country above party. 'In Mortal Danger' is a clarion call for all good citizens to come to the aid of this great nation. Our borders, culture, history, and institutions are at risk. Tancredo�s lucid, passionate book shows the way to protect them."
