Forget the pitchforks and torches; we went and built a canon…

We are extremely excited about the completion of the 9/12 Project canon. This is a unique collection of books that will provide any reader the foundations of liberty and inspire New American founders. It is our strong beliefs that as Americans read the classics and learn from the past they will recognize and practice the duties and responsibilities to be the statesmen of tomorrow.

This list was very carefully crafted and consists of books that may be familiar, others that will appeal to your different interest, some that may challenge your thought, and everyone of them to encourage a progression of exploration and development.

The list will be separated in four sequential levels beginning with the nine foundational books that everyone should read to the advanced level that are more challenging and may have concepts that take deeper thought. Each separate list is manageable with a broad array of books that appeal to different readers. This is anything but overwhelming; in total there are only 50 classics and contemporary books so I am sure this is not a complete list, but it is put together as the comprehensive list that everyone should read.

One final note; this list was not put together on our own. We have been working with some of the nation’s top leaders in the liberty movement and academia. This list has even been endorsed by the faculty of Monticello College. In their statement “We believe that the reading of these books in the levels outlined is the most expeditious means available to the average adult of gaining an education regarding the protection of your fundamental rights as Americans.” I want to thank everyone who helped and hope you take this challenge and begin your journey reading some of these great classics and books.
