Narrated by author Bret Baier.

Can the Founders’ ideals still inspire and unite the nation 250th years after the Declaration of Independence? Fox News Channel's Chief Political Anchor and #1 bestselling author Bret Baier makes the case for America, an inspiring defense of our history, values, and national character.

The impossible dream of the United States of America began with a declaration. Years before the Revolution was won, long before the Constitution was created, we were a nation because of our decision to be free.

Though the universal hunger for freedom that endures, these days our country often seems at cross purposes. Our very history is divisive. On one side, there are the unrelenting complaints about all the things we’re getting wrong. Such critics seem intent on focusing on the darker chapters of our story. On the other side is a sanitized version of history that leaves little room for self-reflection. It’s as if any admission of frailty or failure is an unpatriotic act.

In The Case for America Bret Baier argues that neither of these pictures reflects our reality. To make the case for the nation’s enduring value, he underscores our fundamental character: unity, freedom, resilience. Baier shares his own reflections alongside those of numerous historians, commentators, and business leaders in a moving ode to a nation.

The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation

By Bret Baier with Catherine Whitney

All of our politicians and media should read this book. As intended, it is timely, just before the celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
Mr. Baier makes the case that Americans can, and have, disagreed vociferously without being enemies and that we should again. He provided many examples.
He also makes the case, God bless him, that we can admit America’s faults in her history without demonizing her… recognizing her greatness.
He utilized many of my favorite quotes from presidents and other notables, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Definitely worth your time. If you do not have time to sit down and read it, buy the audiobook, which the author narrated in his easy-going style.

I Wish I Could Assign this book to my students

This is a great, educational and encouraging book in such a divisive time in our nations history. I just wish I could assign my high school students to read it but I will be quoting it whenever I can.

Bret Baier Makes the Case

A really wonderful book full of so much important information about the history of the United States, Bret Baier does a fabulous job in presenting it. The only thing I found slightly missing was emphasis on how so many Leftist/Progressives/Democrats carry on about how bad the Nation is, how horrible our history has been, and how antiquated the Constitution and Bill of Rights are: they want to change our founding documents into something that they will more easily be able to manipulate to their own ends (which is, to grab and hold onto power endlessly). There are a number of culprits behind this twisted view, but the biggest faction by far is what we laughingly call "Higher Education" (and even middle and elementary education more recently). A big thanks to Bret Baier for his book and his on-going attempts to stem this corrisive tide.
