AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH A FOREWORD BY J.D. VANCE

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts outlines a peaceful "Second American Revolution" for voters looking to shift the power back into the hands of the people.

America is on the brink of destruction. A corrupt and incompetent elite has uprooted our way of life and is brainwashing the next generation. Many so-called conservatives are as culpable as their progressive counterparts.

In this ambitious and provocative book, Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts announces the arrival of a New Conservative Movement. A powerful work of political commentary, his message is simple: Global elites — your time is up.

Dawn’s Early Light blazes a promising path for American renewal, showing the American people how to take back their country. Chapter by chapter, it identifies institutions that conservatives need to build, others that we need to take back, and more still that are too corrupt to save: Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education, BlackRock, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, to name a few.

All these need to be dissolved if the American way of life is to be passed down to future generations.

The good news is, we’re going to win.

The Swamp is so drunk on power that the elites don't realize the ground is moving beneath their feet. In Washington, they wear foreign flags on their lapels, but they don’t protect our border. They wave around the Constitution, but they don’t respect its wisdom. They appeal to Reagan, but Reagan would never put up with this non-sense.

Their decadence will be their downfall. A new day is here, and a new vision for national conservatism is rising.

This is the battle plan for taking back America:

  • Populist Conservatism: Discover a new movement that declares war on global elites and the D.C. Swamp, shifting power from a corrupt establishment back to the American people.
  • Dismantling the Establishment: Learn why institutions like the FBI, Ivy League colleges, and major media outlets must be dissolved to preserve the American way of life for future generations.
  • An Offensive Strategy: Move beyond simply playing defense. Roberts outlines a clear, offensive plan for how conservatives can—and will—win the fight for America’s future.
  • Family-First Fusionism: Put the American family back at the center of the conservative movement with policies that serve moms, dads, and kids—not global corporations.
