I am a GOP historian and the author of Back to Basics for the Republican Party.
Michael Zak is the author of Back to Basics for the Republican Party, the acclaimed history of the GOP. Clarence Thomas cited the book in a Supreme Court decision.
The theme of Mr. Zak's work is that Republicans would benefit tremendously from appreciating the GOP's more than fifteen decades of achievement.
