America: The Last Best Hope, Volume III

From the Collapse of Communism to the Rise of Radical Islam

De: William J. Bennett

Narrado por: Jon Gauger

America began to breathe easy at the close of the Cold War and loosened its grip on the fear of nuclear confrontation for the first time since World War Two. Peace was palpable, but in retrospect the years between 1988 and 2008 were as rocky as they were uncertain. Turbulence, not tranquility, marked the turn of the century: the war on drugs, race riots, values debates, deep economic shifts, and the growing threat of terrorism on US soil that would tragically play out on September 11, 2001.

In this, the third volume of America: The Last Best Hope, William J. Bennett explores America's recent and momentous history: the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of global communism; sweeping changes in political and popular culture; the war on terror and the election of America's first African American president. Surveying the players, personalities, and pivotal moments, Bennett captures this recent chapter in the American story with piercing insight and unrelenting optimism.

Evan's Review

Bill Bennett is a great writer no wonder many schools have adopted his books for their US History Curriculum. Public Schools will not because left leaning curriculum experts. One thing for sure you not hear the 1619 project. Dr. Bennett explores the good and bad of history in very balance way. Read all three for a good overview our Country's History.
