Using History to Give Hope for Today


The Soul of America: the Battle for Our Better Angels by Jon Meacham
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Touching on different periods in which America has struggled with racism, Antisemitism, hatred and division, Meacham uses history to show that we’ve faced difficult times before and will in the future.  If you read history books often, this will not be anything new but I suggest reading this book for the conclusion alone.  Thoughtful, hopeful and highly informative, I almost tore the conclusion out of my copy in order to staple and carry with me at all times (don’t worry, I didn’t mutilate my book.)  I initially received this book as a digital ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
