"The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." --Mark Twain
Georgia Heritage Council recommends the following books for everyone who wants to understand our American
heritage and our Southern heritage. As Winston Churchill said, "A nation that forgets its past has
no future.” It's essential for Americans to understand our Constitutional Republic as intended by the Framers and the liberties
which have been lost in the years since our Founding. It's important to understand the forces at work which undermine our liberties
and those which seek to revise and rewrite our history. Please do your duty; become an informed citizen.
The following list is just a start...much more to come...
