Rally Round the Flag Arnold Kontiel

Rally Around the Flag is the first book of the story of a young man by the name of George Burton, who returns to the United States after serving as a U. S. Marine in the invasion of Iraq known as Operation Desert Storm. He convinces a radio station to hire him and give him his own talk radio show. Within a year his show becomes the most popular conservative talk show in the country. He takes his money and wisely invests it in the booming stock market of the 1990s. He not only buys the station that hosts his show, but soon owns over two hundred station across the country. By 1996 he is a self-made billionaire and becomes the most popular conservative leader in America. Yet, he can see the writing on the wall and fears that America is headed towards socialism. He fears that conservatives are too tamed to fight the rising tide of socialism and is convinced that only a new American populist nationalism can save America. In 1996 he calls a meeting of conservative activists and forms the National Association for a Populist America, dedicated to "Make America, American once more."
