Conversation and Book Signing with Jonathan Turley

Join us for a Reagan Foundation America 250 event with Jonathan Turley on his new book, The Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution (Publish Date: February 3, 2026). Attendance is free, but reservations are recommended. Copies of his book can be purchased during registration. 

On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, law professor, legal analyst, and bestselling author of The Indispensable Right Jonathan Turley explores how the unique origins of American democracy set it apart from other revolutions, whether it can survive and thrive in the 21st century, and how the unfinished story of the revolution will play out in a rapidly changing world.

Synthesizing sources from history to philosophy to the arts, Turley offers a hopeful account of how the lessons of the past can guide us through today’s “crisis of faith” in democracy and see us into the future. He notes: “From redcoats to robots, our challenges have changed. Yet, we have remained. Our greatest danger is not forgetting the history detailed in this book, but forgetting who we were in that history.” 

Called the “dean of legal analysts” by the Washington Post, Turley has worked as a legal analyst for NBC, CBS, BBC and he is currently the legal analyst for Fox News.
