A gripping blend of courtroom drama, political thriller, and constitutional commentary, April 15th: The Most Pernicious Attack Upon English Liberties pulls back the curtain on how tax law has become the government’s prosecution of last resort.
First released in 1983 and now updated for its Third Edition on the semiquincentennial of American independence, this work dramatizes true events from the Iran‑Contra era, offshore tax schemes, drug‑money stings, and high‑stakes criminal tax prosecutions. Drawing on decades of experience defending clients before the IRS, federal agencies, and congressional committees, Donald W. “Mac” MacPherson turns real cases—mobsters and arms dealers, CIA operatives and “mysterious colonels,” small‑town farmers and submachine‑gun manufacturers—into a vivid stage play that reads like history, legal brief, and spy novel at once.
Through interwoven acts and scenes, MacPherson shows how investigations that begin with covert operations and foreign bank accounts often end not with espionage charges, but with indictments for tax evasion, conspiracy to defraud the IRS, and related financial offenses. The book traces:
The shadow world of Iran‑Contra arms pipelines, Swiss and Cayman accounts, and CIA front companies;
IRS and DOJ strategies in “last resort” tax prosecutions when other charges fail;
The real‑world consequences of the Fifth Amendment, immunity deals, and grand jury subpoenas;
The transformation of ordinary citizens—from Iowa pig farmers to small business owners—into federal defendants over aggressive tax planning gone wrong.
This Third Edition adds a new foreword by the author’s youngest son, who has since taken up the family’s tax‑defense practice, reflecting on how the Republic has drifted toward greater centralization and bureaucratic control in the decades since the original publication. With the perspective of nearly half a century of defending “freeborn Americans” against revenue agents and prosecutors, MacPherson invites readers to ask whether the spirit of liberty that animated 1776 still animates our approach to taxation and justice today.
April 15th is essential reading for lawyers, accountants, policy wonks, and citizens who sense that tax enforcement has become a powerful tool in the government’s arsenal—and want to understand, case by case, how we got here.
