Immigration, American Values And An Epic Journey To Freedom Are Detailed In David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom'

    WILMINGTON, NC, October 20, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 'Make America Great Again' is one of the most popular campaign slogans ever created. This slogan moves us in two directions simultaneously - back to a past in which America was perceived to be the greatest country in the world, and forward into a future in which can once again BE the greatest country in the world. That slogan resonates with people who believe America is on a downward slide. The upcoming election could solidify America's becoming great again or it could solidify its downfall.

Immigration is a key issue in political campaigns everywhere. Immigration however is not really the problem - illegal immigration is the problem. Illegal immigration allows people to take advantage of the opportunity America offers without actually joining American society and participating in all that comes with it. The offenders are willing to take that risk, as the alternatives offer little chance for true freedom. The desire to immigrate to the United States is held by people everywhere because America (despite what some politicians and news media might say) continues to be and indeed still is the greatest country in the world. Yes, the USA has slipped a bit and has a few serious problems. Yet in spite of this, America continues to lead the world in freedom, in core values, and is the most important commodity of all - the opportunity for a better life.

David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom' is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.

Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young people. He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of "Palladino Martial Arts", he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. 'Quest For Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.

During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest For Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.

'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."
