"Ark of the Liberties" recovers a long-forgotten success story:
America's lengthy and laudatory history of expanding world liberty.
Our country's decline in popularity over the past eight years has
been nothing short of astonishing, and with wit, brilliance, and
deep affection, Ted Widmer reminds us why this great nation had so
far to fall. His sweeping history brims with new insights about
America's enduringly favorable relationship with the Middle East;
why Woodrow Wilson's presidency deserves reappraisal; the
Democratic Party's underappreciated foreign-policy achievements;
and how the country's long history of successfully advocating for
and exporting liberty touches immediately on the choices we face in
Iraq today. "Ark of the Liberties" romps through centuries of
history--from America's start as a fascinating virgin promised land
to its present position as a world superpower--all the while
reminding us of the necessity and nobility of our nation's global
ambitions.
