This book is bold, confrontational, honest, funny, heartfelt, and painfully accurate — the ultimate Gen X manifesto for a nation losing its spine.
If you’re Gen X, you’ll feel seen.
If you’re younger, you’ll understand us.
If you’re easily offended… you were warned on page one.
Powerful. Gritty. Unfiltered. Needed.
This is the story of a generation that never asked to be heroes — but just might be the last ones who can save what’s left.
is a blunt, unapologetic, and fiercely honest look at the country we grew up loving… and the one we’re watching fall apart in real time.
Written by Dallas Rice — a man who has lived the grit, loss, faith, hardship, and hard truths that shaped America’s toughest generation — this book cuts through cultural fog with the clarity only Gen X can deliver. No filters. No corporate-approved niceties. No participation trophies.
This isn’t nostalgia.
This is a warning.
And a challenge.
Inside, you’ll find:
Real stories of growing up in a country where discipline, responsibility, and respect weren’t optional.
Unfiltered commentary on modern society’s collapse into softness, confusion, and victimhood.
A deep dive into faith, freedom, masculinity, and patriotism — the pillars Gen X watched get mocked, removed, and rewritten.
A call to action for the next generation, giving them the tools, history, and mindset today’s culture refuses to teach.
A raw, emotional look at fatherhood, loss, and what it means to become strong when life doesn’t give you a choice.
