This is an authentic signature. (Please see photos.) • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “CHARLTON HESTON is widely regarded as one of the most politically influential Americans never elected to public office. Since he's not a professional politician, he can’t be unseated from the debate. But like a politician, he gets the airtime and ink and coverage personal freedoms depend on. That rich tradition continues in this book, where he tells the hard truths of an America vanishing into the mist of memory—and how we must muster the individual courage to bring her back. His challenge is based on a simple truth: Americans are born with more freedom than any other people in history. To keep it, we must be more courageous than any other people in history.” —THE PUBLISHER • “This book is not simply a pro-2nd Amendment tome. It’s a well thought-out presentation on how many Americans have come to accept misrepresentations, apathy, various forms of delinquency, abuse of power and factual distortions as commonplace. “MR. HESTON pulls no punches in describing his disdain for elitist powers-that-be who cannot accept debate on their ideas, and who are quick to label those who disagree with them, or worse yet, challenge them—as racist, closed-minded, unenlightened, zealots, or even dangerous. Yet these same people and groups claim to be the compassionate, all-encompassing champions of diversity and tolerance.” —MARK FROM INDIANAPOLIS, IN, AMAZON REVIEW • “MR. HESTON was a LION, in a world of mamby-pambys! He always stood up for what was right, and our Rights!” —LANCE COCHRANE, AMAZON REVIEW • ABOUT THE AUTHOR: “HESTON gained stardom for his leading roles as MOSES in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956), and as the title role of BEN-HEN (1959), the latter of which earned him the ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST ACTOR. “His other notable credits include THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952), SECRET OF THE INCAS (1954), TOUCH OF EVIL (1958), THE BIG COUNTRY (1958), EL CID (1961), THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD (1965), KHARTOUM (1966), PLANET OF THE APES (1968), JULIUS CAESAR (1970), THE OMEGA MAN (1971), ANONY AND CLEOPATRA (1972), SOYLENT GREEN (1973), THE THREE MUSKETEERS 1974), AIRPORT 1975 (1974), EARTHQUAKE (1974), and CROSSED SWORDS (1974)…. “In the 1950s and early 1960s, he was one of a handful of Hollywood actors to speak openly against racism and was an active supporter of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. HESTON left the Democratic Part in 1987 to become a Republican, founding a conservative political action committee and supporting RONALD REAGAN. HESTON was a five-term president of the National RifLe Association (NRA), from 1998 to 2003.” —WIKIPEDIA • “Actors come in many varieties, not all of them appealing. Under the guidance of a skilled director, a stupid actor can chalk up an imposing record without being able to boast a high school diploma. Some are monsters of egotism, others voracious wolves. But, equally, some are thoroughly appealing human beings, and CHUCK HESTON (as his friends knew him) was one of these. Quietly intelligent, he was also thoroughly modest.” —WILLIAM RUSHER, FORMER PUBLISHER OF NATIONAL REVIEW • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “THE COURAGE TO BE FREE” AUTHOR: CHARLTON HESTON FOREWORD: WAYNE LaPIERRE TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: SAUDADE PRESS, 2000 EDITION: FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING* *RE: On the Copyright Page, this Number Row: “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.” NOTE: This book is NOT an ex-library copy.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS.
