"Sic Semper Res Publica:" is the tale of America's decline as told by a teenage onlooker. The author is highly accomplished in his studies and rolls his knowledge & experiences (& empathizes with the experiences of others) into this substantial and informative book. The author maintains a hopeful but foreboding tone throughout as he addresses all of America's issues, past precedents, and he makes suggests for solutions. From healthcare to the banking system, from immigration to national defense and our spending binges, Richendollar tackles all in this work of self-preservation.
