I saw this book on the shelf at our library and had to pick it up, especially after reading Ingenious the week before. Brookhiser has an approachable way of writing, tracing the history of liberty as the key ideal in the foundation and continued development of the United States of America.
I must say, the further we progress into the future as a nation, the further we drift from our original ideal of liberty. Sadly, I don’t think we should expect anything different.
