"The role of history is to inform, inspire, and sometimes provoke us,
which is why Bill Bennett's wonderfully readable book is so important."
--Walter Isaacson
A decade ago, William J. Bennett published a magisterial three-volume
account of our nation's history. Now, Bennett returns to that
bestselling trilogy, revising and condensing his epic tale into one
volume, a page-turning narrative of our exceptional nation. In
Bennett's signature gripping prose, Washington, Franklin, Lincoln,
Roosevelt, Reagan, and others reemerge not as marble icons or dust-dry
names in a textbook, but as full-blooded, heroic pioneers whose
far-reaching vision forged a nation that attracted and still attracts
millions yearning to breathe free.
In this riveting volume, Bennett covers America’s greatest moments in
breath-taking detail:
- From the heroism of the Revolution to the dire hours of the
Civil War,
- From the progressive reforms of the early 1900s to the
civil rights reforms of the 1960s,
- From the high drama of the Space Race to the gut-wrenching
tension of the Cold War,
- From the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of global
Communism to the attacks of 9-11 and the war on terror.
William J. Bennett captures the players, personalities, and pivotal
moments of American history with piercing insight and unrelenting
optimism. In this gripping tale of a nation, the story of what Lincoln
referred to as "the last best hope of earth" comes alive in all its
drama and personality.
