    "The Death of Liberty" presents a powerful examination of how America's tax system evolved from a colonial grievance into what author David Thomas Roberts identifies as one of the greatest threats to American freedom. This eye-opening investigation traces the alarming parallel between the oppressive British taxes that sparked the American Revolution and today's increasingly complex and intrusive federal tax system. At the heart of this compelling narrative is the 16th Amendment - a watershed moment that Roberts argues fundamentally altered the relationship between citizens and their government. Through meticulous research and striking historical comparisons, he reveals how a 71,000+ page tax code has become a weapon of political control, rewarding allies and punishing enemies through byzantine regulations and selective enforcement. Most disturbing is Roberts' revelation of the IRS's increasing militarization, spending millions on weapons and ammunition while wielding unprecedented power over ordinary citizens. Through shocking real-life stories and documented cases of abuse, the book illustrates how far we've strayed from the Founding Fathers' vision of limited government and individual liberty. This isn't just another book about taxes - it's a wake-up call about the systematic erosion of American freedoms through bureaucratic overreach and government coercion. Roberts poses a crucial question: If patriots like Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Samuel Adams fought against British taxation without representation, what would they make of today's IRS? More importantly, why do modern Americans accept what the Founders would have deemed intolerable? About the Author>His entrepreneurial success extends beyond technology. As the founder of Defiance Press & Publishing, he provides a platform for conservative and libertarian voices. His commitment to preserving American heritage manifests in his non-profit Twice-the-Monuments.org, which works to restore historical monuments removed during civil unrest. Roberts' political activism includes founding Texans for True Conservatives PAC and advocating for constitutional originalism and limited government principles. His 650-acre Brushwood Rose Ranch, where he raises Texas Longhorn cattle, grounds his understanding of America's agricultural heritage and small business challenges. A defender of free enterprise and constitutional liberty, Roberts combines practical business experience with deep political conviction. His latest venture, Wealtheo, reflects his commitment to promoting financial literacy and entrepreneurial opportunity. Married for over three decades and a grandfather of five, Roberts continues to champion the values of individual liberty and free market capitalism from his home in Montgomery, Texas.

This memoir traces Arpaio's journey from his early days as a young army recruit during the Korean War through his groundbreaking work with the DEA, where he spearheaded major drug enforcement operations across the globe.

About the Author>Following his military service, Arpaio distinguished himself as a police officer in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, Nevada, before joining the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (later the DEA). During his 26-year tenure with the DEA, he became one of the agency's most accomplished agents, conducting operations from Turkey to Mexico and establishing himself as a pioneer in drug enforcement strategies. His most famous role began in 1993 when he was elected Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Over his 24-year tenure, Arpaio transformed the office with innovative-and often controversial-programs that gained national attention. His unique approach to law enforcement and jail management, including the creation of tent city jails and chain gangs, made him a household name and earned him both fierce critics and devoted supporters. Known for his straightforward communication style and unwavering stance on law enforcement issues, Arpaio has appeared on thousands of television programs, been featured in international media outlets, and continues to be a prominent voice in national discussions about crime, immigration, and public safety.
