Give Me Liberty

Description: An award - winning historian recounts the history of American liberty through the stories of thirteen essential documents Nationalism is inevitable: It supplies feelings of belonging identity and recognition. It binds us to our neighbors and tells us who we are. But increasingly - - from the United States to India from Russia to Burma - - nationalism is being invoked for unworthy ends: to disdain minorities or to support despots. As a result nationalism has become to many a dirty word. In Give Me Liberty award - winning historian and biographer Richard Brookhiser offers up a truer and more inspiring story of American nationalism as it has evolved over four hundred years. He examines America's history through thirteen documents that made the United States a new country in a new world: a free country. We are what we are because of them; we stay true to what we are by staying true to them. Americans have always sought liberty asked for it fought for it; every victory has been the fulfillment of old hopes and promises. This is our nationalism and we should be proud of it.
