It's an election year so some historical references to the birth of our nation are in order. WOW! I love this selection, it concisely focuses on the growing pains of the new nation by focusing on 6 discrete events during that politically creative period that lead to our nation with all its grandeur and its flaws. Let the arguments begin, but after reading this title you'll understand that that is the point and since all of the questions haven't been answered we'll have a long time to continue the dialogue!
