A Call for True Leadership
In a world where chaos seems to strike without warning, leadership becomes the dividing line between collapse and resilience. Help, Help America by Dr. Francis S. Laari is not just a book—it’s a bold call to confront issues head-on rather than running from them. Dr. Laari reflects on moments in history where a single voice shaped the direction of an entire nation, proving that true leadership is not about titles but about action.
This book reminds us that leadership is a responsibility every citizen shares. From government decisions to everyday choices, the message is clear—leadership is not optional, it’s essential. By exploring events like 9/11, the January 6 insurrection, and the pandemic, Dr. Laari takes readers into the heart of America’s greatest challenges and reveals the kind of courage required to overcome them.
“I hear you!”

Inside the Book’s Message
Help, Help America is about accountability, courage, and the responsibility to face challenges rather than bury them. Dr. Laari highlights President George W. Bush’s powerful response after 9/11 as a turning point in American leadership, illustrating how one decisive moment can rally a nation. The book takes the reader on a journey through America’s recent struggles—political division, racial injustice, gun rights debates, and the pandemic—showing that while problems are inevitable, strong leadership can turn despair into hope.
A standout section of the book reflects on how leaders must not only respond to crises but also prepare citizens for the roles they themselves must play. It’s not a one-man job; it’s a collective responsibility. Dr. Laari calls readers to take their own part in leadership, whether in their communities, homes, or personal choices, making this book a rallying cry for unity and responsibility in today’s fractured society.
