"Ron takes us on a tour of unchecked government power, giving us an insider's look at some of our time's most significant criminal cases in history."

"A great book by a great lawyer"

"Ron helped me secure an acquittal."

The average American faces astonishing legal peril. Half a million opaque regulations and statutes hover over us each day. This modern Lawfare—where federal authorities wield vague statutes like weapons—threatens to rebrand everyday people as criminals overnight. FIGHT THE FEDS exposes these tactics and teaches you how to beat the feds before they beat you.

Author Ronald W. Chapman II, ESQ, LL.M. has defended everyone from United States Marines to drug kingpins, notching 150 federal acquittals by age 40. Hailed by one federal judge as “the best trial attorney he’s encountered in 20 years on the bench,” Chapman shows how unchecked federal investigations ensnare targets for the slightest misstep. A single email, misunderstood text, or regulatory gray area can land you behind bars. But knowledge is power. Through riveting case studies—including the Oklahoma City Bombing and Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal—Chapman unveils the hidden strategies of criminal investigation and federal criminal defense.

From his vantage as a former prosecutor and now a top federal defender, Chapman unpacks the bloated reach of government agencies. You’ll discover why labeling any “chemical” act as terrorism (even by a scorned housewife) can distort justice and learn how departmental “tunnel vision” leads many lawyers to accept government “facts” uncritically. Chapman refuses to let you become another statistic. By deconstructing prosecutorial overreach, explaining key legal tools, and revealing how to force the government to prove every charge, he arms you with an indispensable blueprint for understanding criminal law and reclaiming your rights.

• “I read this book too late. I hope you don’t.”

Chapman’s 360-degree perspective—drawn from Afghanistan’s battlefields, U.S. courtrooms, and his best-selling work on persuasion—reminds us that truth often lies buried beneath the government’s narrative. FIGHT THE FEDS merges ethics with real-world strategy, demystifying every phase of federal criminal defense. Whether you’re a law student, attorney, or someone who never imagined you’d be busted by the feds, this guide illuminates the process with unmatched clarity.

Learn how to conduct independent investigations, spot prosecutorial blind spots, and keep federal authorities accountable. When the government’s Goliath looms large, FIGHT THE FEDS is the sling and stone you need to mount an effective defense. Let Chapman’s track record and insider insights help you reassert the principle that one is innocent until proven guilty.

In a volatile era where prosecutors exploit confusion, deception, and fear, FIGHT THE FEDS stands as one of the market's most practical and relevant investigation books.
