Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America
Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America is a book written by The Heritage Foundation head Kevin Roberts with a foreword by JD Vance.
History
[edit]The book was scheduled for release on September 24, 2024. It was originally titled Dawn's Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America and more recently titled Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.[1][2] The volume includes a foreword by vice presidential candidate JD Vance.[2][3][4] Amid the controversy surrounding Project 2025, in August 2024 Roberts postponed the book release until after the November election.[5]
Contents
[edit]In the forward Vance writes that it is “time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.”[6] In the book, Roberts criticizes birth control and law enforcement (preferring more of a heavily-armed frontier-like society), while promoting public prayer as a key tool in the competition with China.[7]
Reception
[edit]Colin Dickey of the The New Republic says the book reveals the paranoid, Stalinist tactics like using conspiracy theories to violently enforce the right's vision for the world.[7]
