The American Spirit

De: David McCullough

Narrado por: David McCullough

A New York Times Bestseller

A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, one of America’s most honored historians—winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom—that reminds us of the enduring principles at the heart of the American experience.

“Insightful and inspirational, The American Spirit summons a vexed and divided nation to remember—and cherish—our unifying ideas and ideals” (Richmond Times-Dispatch). Over the course of his distinguished career, McCullough has addressed Congress, the White House, universities, and historical institutions across the country. Now, in an era of self-reflection following a divisive political season, he brings together these stirring speeches in a powerful volume celebrating civic duty, American character, and historical perspective.

“The American Spirit is as inspirational as it is brilliant, as simple as it is sophisticated” (Buffalo News). McCullough reminds us of the values that unite us as Americans—regardless of region, political affiliation, or background. This is a book of history, hope, and reflection that speaks directly to readers seeking wisdom, unity, and a deeper connection to the ideals that define the United States.

True American history continues...

...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.
