The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For by David McCulloughMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A collection of speeches given my McCullough through the years at various organizations, college graduations, in Congress etc. He focuses on the importance of education, knowledge of our history and important people and their influence on the course of our history. He, throughout, extols the values of those who came before and how those values have become the threads of the fabric that is American.
As always, he is easy to read--he speaks in a voice of one on one conversation--and thought provoking. He is uplifting and provides hope and encouragement for our continued strength and success in a world that is still amazed at our story.
One statement he made that resonated with me: We are the only country in the world that knows exactly when we were formed, why we were formed and how we were formed, that is, who did it. Isn't that the most amazing thing???
