Description
Don Jenkins wants a divorce from the United States. He’s tired of a government that can't balance its budget but thinks it can dictate how much soda he should drink. Combining political intrigue and political theory, Free Dakota explores the new possibilities when Don follows the call of a charismatic diner owner who promises a libertarian paradise on the prairie. After years of struggle they have the votes for a peaceful secession, but the feds say it's 'til death do us part. Stopping the feds may cost more in integrity than in blood, however, when Don has to decide whether to stay after an assassination changes everything.

Advance Praise
William Irwin has accomplished something remarkable. He has written a novel of ideas that is at the same time a gripping story.David Gordon, Senior Fellow, Ludwig von Mises Institute
If you don't think a blogger and a fry cook can start a revolution, you have to read this book. Irwin's story will convince you that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when liberty is at stake. Free Dakota creates a world you'll want to revisit. For my part, I'd like to order up a burger and coffee at Mackey's Diner, and tell an ex-prostitute my plans for changing the world.
