America: The Last Best Hope (One-Volume Edition) by William J. Bennett
America: The Last Best Hope (One-Volume Edition) by William J. Bennett
From its first appearance, William J. Bennett's magisterial three-volume account of our nation's history was hailed for its combination of compelling storytelling and rigorous scholarship. Now Bennett returns to his bestselling chronicle, revising and condensing the 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.
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.
