Vision for Creating an America at its Fullest Potential

A wonderful, vibrant, and energetic treatise on the Republican vision for a Better America. Packed with specificity not often seen by presidential candidates, Bob Dole and Jack Kemp lay out exactly what they would do if elected as President and Vice President, respectively. They provide their reasons for policy ideas and explain how and why they would work to unleash the full potential of the American Economy. The book is well structured, starting out by laying out the ideas of the Dole-Kemp Economic Plan and its goals. The remainder of the book is devoted to elaborating on those ideas, with it folded together into a cohesive framework in the conclusion. I closed the book feeling refreshed and optimistic for the future of America. But I was also saddened by the fact that Dole and Kemp never had the opportunity to demonstrate the efficacy of their vision. I would recommend this book to conservatives and non-conservatives alike. Conservatives will be inspired by the Dole-Kemp vision for a more Prosperous America. Non-conservatives will perhaps gain insight into the heart of Republican ideals, possibly even dispelling some common myths about the GOP - e.g. lacking compassion, favoring the rich, etc.
