“Young Guns” by House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Republican Reps. Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and Paul Ryan (Wisc.) will be released Sept. 14, timed for the closing two months of the mid-term election campaign. Publisher Simon and Schuster announced the book in a release Monday.
The book, which is subtitled “a new generation of conservative leaders,” is expected to put the trio of lawmakers on a publicity tour in the fall, giving them increased visibility. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), who would be speaker of the House if Republicans capture enough seats, is not involved in the book, which pictures Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan on the cover.
The 224-page book will say that Republicans have “lost sight of American ideals” and, according to a preview, will outline a “new direction for the Republican party.”
“Through campaign support for those who believe in private sector job creation, maximized individual freedom, and a better America for our children, the Young Guns are changing the face of the Republican Party and giving Americans a road-map to get back to the American Dream,” an advanced summary of the book reads.
