Ok, so I finished this on off about a month ago and am just now getting around to writing the review. I can honestly say that I have never read a text book from cover to cover. I the case of this book, which is laid out in a similar fashion as text book, I did, minus of course the fifty or so pages of citations. Facts can be such stubborn things.
There are some great lessons on our nations history and some good quotes from the Founding Fathers and other notable leaders and thinkers through the ages. If anything, Mr. Beck has gotten me in to the books and expanded my knowledge of America and its history. I think my next major read after finishing the Federalist Papers is going to be Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America.
So much to read and I am such a SLOW reader.
