Review:
I really thought that this was going to be about January 6th, the cover fooled me, mea culpa. I am very familiar with the history that was reviewed in this book and I found only one memorable quotation: America does not need to learn how to live with civil war, America needs to learn how to live with civil peace (or something like that...I listened to the book and I did not jot down the quotation as I heard it because I have a bit of a life today). Aside from that, this is American history fairly well recounted with a focus on contentious issues (slavery, abortion, etc.) I just really spent too much time on the book as it was mostly a retelling of history with which I was already familiar.
