About this listen

A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States - winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among many others - that reminds us of fundamental American principles.

Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions. Now, at a time of self-reflection in America following a bitter election campaign that has left the country divided, McCullough has collected some of his most important speeches in a brief volume designed to identify important principles and characteristics that are particularly American. The American Spirit reminds us of core American values to which we all subscribe, regardless of which region we live in, which political party we identify with, or our ethnic background. This is a book about America for all Americans that reminds us who we are and helps to guide us as we find our way forward.

...to both surprise and enlighten me. This author is most obviously a very well studied individual - the stories he tells, no, brings to life are at once informative and enthralling. I wish I had been interested in my nation's history as a young boy; thank God we have men like Mr. David McCullough who, through piqued interest and focused research have been able to bring much of our lost history to light.

I will be getting this book in printed form to read and add to my library.

True American history continues...
