Book Review Jon Meacham The Soul Of America
The soul of america.
Book review jon meacham the soul of america. The battle for our better angels is a beautiful book written to give one hope in these troubled times by veteran historian jon meacham. He is effective as ever at writing history for a broad readership. We have devolved into a mostly anti intellectual country instead now run by showmen and.
Our current climate of partisan fury is not new and in the soul of america meacham shows us how what abraham lincoln called the better angels of our nature have repeatedly won the day. Meacham gives readers a long term perspective on american history and a reason to believe the soul of america is ultimately one of kindness and caring not rancor and paranoia. In response meacham tries to summon the better angels by looking back at when america truly has been great.
