Adam Verner
Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Non-Fiction.
This book throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society.

I came across this work after reading “The Age of American Unreason” by Susan Jacoby. If I had to do it over again I would have read her work as Volume 2 as it is of more recent vintage. Both merit thought and further study. Thank You.
A Very Thought Provoking Work With Much Historical Information

Of course, the irony is that only readers who see themselves as intellectuals will want to obtain copies of this fine audiobook.

It is an understatement to say that this book is difficult to read. The style is ancient compared to how we read and write today, the material is dry, incredibly verbose, and sometimes a bit of a rant. However, I think that this is a good book for those that are seriously interested in why our country is lacking in intellectual curiosity and spirit. For those with a similar viewpoint to mine, this book's message will not surprise you, but the theories and ideas behind the message will enlighten you.
Difficult to understand but worth it.
