DAVID McCULLOUGH's
The AMERICAN SPIRIT
Who We Are and What We Stand For
Reviewed by Author Roy Murry
The American Spirit is the second book of McCullough
that I have read. The first was John Adams.
History books for many of us are not what we pick up
at the bookstore initially. We buy fictional novels mostly as Americans.
However, people tell stories, and that is history. I
read because I like stories. Therefore, I purchase a history book or based on
history novel every once in a while. You should do that too if I were so bold
in noting.
Here, McCullough tells stories in the form of speeches
to people including graduates at various universities in the United States. His
accounts of the men who help develop what we now call our Republic will inspire
the reader to care more about our country.
David chronicles history, some of which I knew being
from Massachusetts and others that I was unaware of their existence. Many reading this enjoyable book will learn history without drudgery interesting, usable facts.
I will be reading another of David McCullough's books.
You should try one, starting with The American Spirit.
