Now in paperback: David French warns of the potential dangers to the country-and the world-if we don't summon the courage to reconcile our political differences. Two decades into the 21st Century, the U.S. is less united than at any time in our history since the Civil War. We are more diverse in our beliefs and culture than ever before. But red and blue states, secular and religious groups, liberal and conservative idealists, and Republican an...

Historians, ...

Based upon research in the National Archives, regimental museums and collections, and other depositories, this is the first book to strip away the myths that ...
