Summary: Should be Required Reading
Review: A fabulous collection of great thoughts, words, and people that every American should know, honor, and emulate. It left me somewhat embarrassed of the present state of affairs among our elected officials. No one can read this without gaining more respect, pride, and admiration of our predecessors. An excellent book.

Summary: eye opening and tear shedding
Review: As a military man who joined to serve his country and nothing more, this book is a breath of life giving air. To know that I am not the only one who feels the need to give all to this country. Mr. Bennett does an outstanding job pointing out the easily missed down falls of modern day society without ever calling out a single name or pointing fingers. WE ARE ALL responsible and just as guilty as the next for the decisions that have been made concerning American Morality. And Mr. Bennett makes that point abundantly clear. I just barely got through his introduction when pride and fear began to overwhelm me. This country is in trouble and as he says in his book "it may not have all the answers but it is a step in the right direction. Thank You Mr. Bennett for reminding me that I am an American and I have the right to stand for what is right. And I too gladly give of my time and life if required in service to this great nation.

Summary: Astonishingly good, deeply important
Review: I started listening to the audio tape some time ago in the car, and was initially somewhat ambivalent about the program. However, within fifteen minutes, I was thoroughly engaged, and fifteen minutes after that, wiping held-back tears from the corners of my eyes, wondering if "Nathaniel" (as in Hale) would be a good name for my future son.Our forefathers, with courage and genius, created the most immitated society the world has ever known. How proud and fortunate this audio book makes one feel. I'm committed to listening to it with my teenage nieces and nephews on a "captive" drive sometime. It'll be a great topic for discussion.

Summary: Greater Than Any History Book I Was Ever Required To Read
Review: Once again, Bill Bennett has demonstrated his exceptional ability to choose an unfortunately undervalued topic in today's society (in this case, the Founders), and pull together a book which should be required reading in our public schools and which each and every candidate for elected or appointed office should be required to read, then submit to a test which would shame the SATs! Failure to pass with an 'A' would bar the individual from holding or seeking office for a period of 5 years! There is a clear correlation between the increase in our nations material wealth and the trend which finds our historical roots becoming more and more distant. Knowing, understanding, appreciating, and following the precepts of this book will go a long way towards reversing a sad and truly disgraceful trend.

Summary: Provides proof that American History Textbooks are LYING!
Review: This is an excellent resource for teaching your kids that America was founded on Christian Principals by God Fearing men. Provides PROOF that the American History texbooks are lying when they call our founding fathers Diests. Many, if not most of them were in fact devoted Christians.

Summary: A Touching and Informative Look into our True History
Review: William Bennett has outdone himself in this remarkable book, and once again given us a look into our past and our historical beginnings. Never have I been so moved as by the understanding I have been able to acquire from this book. After an in depth life long review of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Federalist Papers. Along with Bennetts other books this is one of the grand finales in getting a clear cut foundation by which to understand this great experiment called America. And unfrotunately to really see just how far we have fallen of track compared to where we could be, if we had statesmen like these remarkable men today. I am awe inspired by them at every turn for their intelligence, humanity, moral certainty and political will in regards to founding a young nation. And in their desire to base it upon the highest moral, ethical, political and civil standards. I feel only saddness about the shame that now confronts my country and what we have allowed to happen to our most respected offices. I now more than ever call for impeachment as the only solution. Keep up the great work Mr. Bennett.
