The fate of our country is in the hands of the American people. The time to act is now. ‘Don’t Give Up the Ship’ will be available soon.

LAFAYETTE, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In this urgent call for change, the Calvert Task Group’s thought-provoking new book warns that Progressive politics is eroding the core Navy values and its readiness to defend the nation.

Seventeen former military officers, most U.S. Naval Academy graduates, apply their insights shaped by combat, command, and senior leadership experience to illuminate the divisive threat of woke politics in ‘Don’t Give Up the Ship’. The authors bring an urgent perspective to the impact of politicizing America’s military, which includes endangering security, eroding readiness, and risking wartime defeat.

‘Don’t Give Up the Ship’ is a distress call that captures the authors’ deep concern for our military and our nation.

“The groundbreaking work offers a compendium of personal expressions that captures the dangerous drift of our military and our nation away from Constitutional and patriotic fundamentals that have made America the land of the free and the home of the brave,” said Tom Burbage, Captain, U.S. Navy (ret), President, the Calvert Group.

Readers will benefit from the obvious warning signs presented in the book.

“Our freedoms and our nation itself are under siege from within and without. We face unprecedented circumstances,” Burbage said. “Our military is the backbone of our Republic and ensures our American freedoms.”

The book provides insights into China’s expansionist ambitions, which pose an existential threat. The emerging dangers of the changing international order from Russia, Iran, the DPRK, and radical Islam add depth, urgency, and complexity to our nation’s foreign challenges.

The authors of the book also bring an urgent perspective to the unprecedented internal challenges to our societal and cultural norms, including the economy, the press and social media, election integrity, academia, and national borders—all of which are increasingly under duress and about to fail.

“These internal and external threats have combined to put immense pressures on our military,” Burbage said. “It is no longer certain that our military can defend us from our enemies abroad. It is also no longer clear our nation’s young people will answer the call to join the military to defend our Republic and way of life,” Burbage said.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, who led the Republic through the Civil War and set America on its journey to achieving equality of opportunity for all citizens. The book’s trailblazing content urges readers to defend the principles that made America strong and heed its clarion call to action.

“We view with alarm efforts to undo the toil of generations and reinsert divisions based on race into the fabric of American life,” Burbage said.

The book also contains an introduction, author biographical information, appendix, index, and notes.
