Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America is a book written by The Heritage Foundation head Kevin Roberts with a foreword by JD Vance.
History
editThe book was scheduled for release on September 24, 2024. It was originally titled Dawn's Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America and more recently titled Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.[1] The volume includes a foreword by vice presidential candidate JD Vance.[2][3] Amid the controversy surrounding Project 2025, in August 2024 Roberts postponed the book release until after the November election.[4]
Contents
editIn the forward Vance writes that it is “time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.”[5] In the book, Roberts criticizes birth control and law enforcement (preferring more of a heavily armed frontier-like society), while promoting public prayer as a key tool in the competition with China.[6]
Reception
editColin Dickey of the The New Republic says the book reveals planned "paranoid, Stalinist tactics" like using conspiracy theories to violently enforce the right's vision for the world.[6]
