America: The Last Best Hope
Seeking to restore a passion and love for America, William Bennett has undertaken the immense task of writing America's story as an engaging narrative. National testing repeatedly shows that young people really don't know much about our past, and to be honest, many of us were taught through boring textbooks and have lost any interest we may have had in learning about our nation. Truly our culture is in need of a fresh look at America: her greatness, purpose, and exceptional nature. In stark contrast to the criticism and doubts that flood our media, Mr. Bennett shows the hope to be found in believing America is still a great success story. Within these two volumes he shares the account of America in both successes and failures and triumphs and tragedies. Instead of criticizing our nation and those who have sacrificed for her, these stories affirm that the American experiment in democracy remains the hope our nation desperately needs. Volume I covers 1492-1914; Volume II covers 1914-1989. Each pb book contains over 500 text-rich pages with select black and white photos throughout. ~ Deanne
