The Courage to be Free

"The Courage to Be Free" by Ron DeSantis, published by HarperCollins in 2023, offers an in-depth look into the Florida governor's political ideology, executive decisions, and personal philosophy. 

The book positions DeSantis as a champion of conservative values, highlighting his battles against what he perceives as overreach by the federal government, the influence of "woke" culture, and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida.
 
DeSantis advocates for a more assertive executive power, contrasting his previous stance on small government as a member of the Freedom Caucus. 

He justifies the use of executive power to regulate private institutions, drawing on his experiences to argue for the necessity of strong leadership in combating external pressures on American society and governance.
 
The book also delves into DeSantis's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, where he adopted a stance favoring minimal restrictions on businesses and schools, aiming to balance public health concerns with economic and educational considerations. 

He criticizes the federal government's handling of the pandemic, particularly targeting figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci for their approach to lockdowns and school closures.
