"American Dialogue", by Joseph Ellis (Policy)
Details
"Freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think."
*********************
From the book jacket -- "We live in a divided America that is currently incapable of sustained argument and is feeling unsure of its destiny. Ellis explores prominent founders , searching for patterns and principles that bring the lamp of experience to our contemporary dilemmas."
In the book's innovative arrangement, we see 4 main themes, THEN and NOW:
RACE. THEN: Thomas Jefferson. NOW: Abiding Backlash
EQUALITY. THEN: John Adams. NOW: Our Gilded Age.
LAW. THEN: James Madison. NOW: Immaculate Misconceptions.
ABROAD. THEN: George Washington. NOW: At Peace with War.
