In "The American Revelation," Neil Baldwin, one of our most exciting and provocative intellectual historians, applies his formidable energies to the story of how the American Spirit developed over four centuries, through an inspiring-- and unsparing-- examination of selected ideals that have helped inform our culture through the vivid personalities who set the course. Figures both familiar and forgotten illuminate this timely narrative of popular history that enlivens the current debate about America's proper role in a turbulent post-9/11 world. Though an ideal may have been forgotten, that does not mean it no longer has the power to move us and shape our future. Exuberant and lively, "The American" "Revelation" will inspire all readers, regardless of their politics, to revisit and revalue our country's high-minded heritage.Baldwin, Neil is the author of 'American Revelation : Ten Ideals That Shaped Our Country from the Puritans to the Cold War' with ISBN 9780312995751 and ISBN 031299575X.
