Time to Try The Right to Try

Dear Friends,

We're delighted from time to time to alert you particularly important and worthwhile books about conservatism and or by conservatives.

Next Tuesday is the publication date of The Right to Try: How the Federal Government Prevents Americans from Getting the Lifesaving Treatments They Need -- an important new book by my good friend, and Liberty's great friend, Darcy Olsen.

You may know Darcy as the president of the Goldwater Institute in Arizona: It's one of the nation's premier freedom-loving institutions (Bill Buckley was a huge fan), which has done so much to push back against big government. And you may also know Darcy as the winner of the prestigious Bradley Prize.

But: Now you must get to know her as the author of The Right to Try, which you can order via Amazon, here. This is a profoundly important book and unique book, representing and making the case for a real and ongoing battle for human dignity and life; and in the process uniting an unprecedented non-partisan coalition.

In The Right to Try, Darcy exposes bureaucratic agencies, particularly the Food and Drug Administration, which enact painfully long and deeply flawed -- and deadly! -- drug-approval processes that restrict dying patients from accessing experimental drugs that may save their lives.

Darcy and like-minded allies have helped spawn a new "Right to Try" movement that is pressing legislation across the country to remove barriers to drugs that might prove life-saving to those in dire need at the last stages of their battles against seemingly incurable diseases.

Here's what George Will has to say about The Right to Try and its amazing author:

"Bureaucratic inefficiency and obduracy are always infuriating. When the Food and Drug Administration is involved, they can be lethal. Using true stories, some heroic and others heartbreaking, Darcy Olsen, one of America's foremost policy intellectuals, demonstrates the urgency of establishing the 'right to try.' That right, that is, to try potentially life-saving medicines that are being denied to desperate people because the glacial pace of the FDA's approval process."

I guess Darcy could have written a book titled ANGRY or SCREWED or ENOUGH! Or some other kvetch fest as seems to be all-too-often published nowadays. Instead, she has written an incredibly meaningful book that will actually do good things -- great things -- for real people in real need.

This is a triumph, and it needs to be on your bookshelf. Right now, order your copy of The Right to Try: How the Federal Government Prevents Americans from Getting the Lifesaving Treatments They Need, right here.
