About the Author David Brat is a Republican Congressman for Virginia. Prior to becoming a Congressman, Brat was a professor at Randolph-Macon College. Brat lives in Virginia with his wife, Laura, and their two children. He holds a BA in Business Administration from Hope College, a MA in Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a PhD in Economics from American University.
From David Brat, the college professor who made political headlines when he unseated Majority Leader Eric Cantor, comes his plan for restoring fiscal liberty for America.Congressman David Brat's odds-defying win against Eric Cantor--a triumph of a modest $200,000 campaign fund against a $5 million war chest--immediately brought David Brat, heretofore a liberal arts college economics professor, into the political limelight. Now, in his first book, AMERICAN UNDERDOG, Brat examines how we brought down the status quo by tapping into moral and economic lessons as old as our civilization and discusses how Washington can learn from history instead of ignoring it. A fighter for children, he illuminates how our current fiscal policies are selling their future, and outlines new ways to move forward with a conservative agenda that provides fairer treatment for all.
A clear indictment of the backroom tricks used to keep people in power. Ken I love this book and the story of a small piece of American Politics being taken back by the people. I have followed Dave Brat's campaign and then congressional career since he won against the incumbent.But I don't just like the book because I like Dave Brat. I like it because it is about a real, smart, well-read person who understands history and economics going to bat for regular folks. We don't reach all students real history a. kim said Five Stars. Great book by a patriotic American!. "Got the book just in time to get the author" according to Harry Wilkins, Jr.. Got the book just in time to get the author to sign it for me. Have just started reading it.
