The Battle for America's Soul
The Battle for America’s Soul is about the essence of freedom and liberty and about two polar-opposite political philosophies engaged in a struggle to define those two terms and what they should mean to all Americans. Do you often find yourself confused and troubled by news reports and events of the day? Do you wonder if—or how—they relate to each other and how they affect you and those you love? If you’ve been wondering what’s really happening in America today, and the reasons why, some of the answers are found in “The Battle for America’s Soul”. They are answers you won’t easily find---certainly not in any other single book. They are answers that provide linkage from particular events and expressions from as early as the mid-nineteenth century to events and expressions of today, as well as how those links and expressions could predict a grim future for our nation.

My rating of 5 stars for this book was not given lightly. I think this is an important book, not because it is a reflection of my views, but because I learned so much about a few topics that I thought I already understood.
Kind of like when someone asks the definition of a word, and you begin to give that definition to them, and suddenly realize that you don't really know the definition of that word that you have been using, hearing, and reading for most of your life.
If you're concerned that America is not living up to her potential, that she's not the republic that our forefathers envisioned, and that her Constitution is ignored and fading into the background, I recommend this book highly. Appreciation of this book will require an open mind. You may find that your understanding of some oft discussed concepts such as libertarianism, progressivism, and liberalism will be challenged. Mine were.
Will you agree with everything in the book? I don't know; I didn't. But there was much in the book that I did agree with. There was also much in the book that I either didn't know or had never thought about. That is what I liked the most about this book; Before reading it I thought I was fairly well read about the modern political landscape, and its historical underpinnings. I now know that there is a lot more room for me to explore and learn.
