The Last Best Hope (Volume I) : From the Age of Discovery to a World at War
by William J. Bennett
America, how well do you know your history? In his Farewell Address, Ronald Reagan said if we forget what we have done, we will forget who we are. This book, written by one of Reagan's most loyal lieutenants, responds to Reagan's heartfelt call for an informed patriotism.
"America is best suited for a high school or home-schooled audience searching for a general, conservative-minded textbook. More discerning adult readers will find that the lack of originality and the over reliance on a restricted number of dated sources make the book a retread of previous popular histories." - PW.
