Help Publish Scott’s New Book, ‘Provoked’

by | Jul 31, 2024

What’s up, everybody?

Recently, in preparation for an online debate, I asked Scott Horton for an early copy of his new book Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War With Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine.

As I said on my podcast, the thing is just fantastic. It’s exactly what you would expect from the author of Fool’s Errand and Enough Already—a definitive and devastating portrayal of how our leaders, from the days of George H.W. Bush through today have repeatedly interfered, expanded and turned Russia against the West.

I mean, I’ve read a lot about this stuff. But there is just nothing like an ultimate Horton takedown, from Central Asia to the Middle East and now Eastern Europe too.

So get excited! Scott and his editor, the great Will Porter, are hard at work editing the thing down to a readable length for you now.

And help support the Libertarian Institute which makes all this possible. They have published fourteen great books so far, with several more on the way—due to your generous support.

We all love the Institute so much. So give till it hurts…the IRS because of how much you get to deduct from your taxes.

Right now they even have $10,000 worth of matching funds to double your gift, and great books and other tokens of their appreciation too, including Diary of a Psychosis by Tom Woods, the great book I gave Chris Cuomo in our recent debate, which the Institute also published.

The government is just going to inflate all your savings away anyway.

So please head over to https://libertarianinstitute.org/donate today.

And thank you!
