I've always loved history books, or at
least most of them. America: The Last Best Hope
by William J. Bennett
was an interesting read about America's history between the Cold War
and the present day. It covered some major changes including the fall
of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Communism, changes in culture,
the war on terror, and the election of President Obama.
My Favorite part about this book was
that it was uplifting. So much of what we read about today's society
is very negative and I much prefer Bennett's viewpoint where the
positive is the most important. Another reason this book appealed to
me was because it covers things that happened in my lifetime. I have
never been a very political person but reading these first person
accounts of what was happening was very interesting even for me, the
one that sits on the sidelines.
If you like history, or would like to
learn more about how America has developed during your lifetime, than
you should check out this book. You'll be amazed at the insight you
will find and the things you will learn. Plus there are some great
pictures of some major historical events. This is something you won't
want to miss!
