    About this audiobook

    From the bold, brilliant mind of best-selling author William J. Bennett comes this thrilling account of the virtues and vices of our great country and the many brave men and women who have made it the powerful nation it is today.

    A sweeping tale of human initiative, struggle, and victory, Bennett captures what is unique about America.

    In this, the first volume of a "reasoned, balanced presentation of the American story," Bennett tells our nation's story.  He summons us to embrace America's cause once again as "the last best hope of Earth".

    • 4/5
      A very broad, but not very deep, history of the United States from 1492 to 1914.
    • 4/5
      A seamless overview of United States history from the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. This book is good for those who want to fill in gaps or get a broad picture of US history. Without whitewashing the nation's past nor spraying it with graffiti, Bennett tells America's story as if he were sitting in the room talking to the reader, giving the reader a firm grasp of the past and thus, an understanding of the present. He elaborates on certain people such as Washington, Adams, Calhoun, and Lincoln which livens the story and propels it forward. I found it to be a very enjoyable book. Though it filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge of American history, because it is an overview, it did leave me with wanting to know more, which can be seen as both a positive and negative aspect of the book. I am looking forward to the second volume.
