Although the book is about a better future for the US, the lessons discussed in the book can easily be applied beyond America. I especially value the teachings concerning leadership that can be shared with our youth because they are more likely to play key roles in society in the future, so don't we all want a future in our communities where our leaders are true leaders?

The review described the book well and identified the appropriate audience. Preparing leaders who are able to take control to give their best is a good thing. The book may be more suitable for American readers, although other readers can relate to the idea of developing a leader and creating leadership opportunities. Congrats on BOTD

Also, as mentioned in the review, we would read about the history of America as the author witnessed and shared.
