A fairly straightforward primer of Rick Perry's vision for America. There's nothing especially new about this, per se, but seeing as he's quickly become a top tier candidate for President, it was worth the read.
The book is only surprising in that social issues take a much larger backseat in Perry's vision than you'd expect. They're there, to be certain, and he makes no bones about his positions on social and religious issues, but they take a back seat to the rights of states to embrace - or not embrace - them as best they can. It's somewhat refreshing, even if it's imperfect.
I do recommend people read this anyway, if only because there's a good chance he might be your next President and it's worth reading on that account alone. It probably won't change anyone's mind about the man, but it will at least provide some direct clarity.
