Description
|
|
|
|
In this perspective on the 2008 presidential campaign and its importance for reclaiming America's original ideal, National Book Critics Circle Award–winning historian Simon Schama looks at the present era not through the lens of contemporary pundits and commentators but rather through that of history. In four areas critical to the fate of the American republic—war, immigration, the place of religion in politics and culture, and the persistent expectation of permanent abundance—Schama considers the multiple crises besetting the United States and wonders how these problems look in the context of our past.
