Acclaimed historian David McCullough's The American Spirit is as inspirational as it is brilliant, as simple as it is sophisticated. It will at the same time make you laugh and give rise to tears of despair. . . . This is not patriotic boilerplate. McCullough is a historian and a realist. He sees his nation with all its warts, beginning with its indelible birthmark of slavery and continuing through to today's government dysfunction and political polarization. Yet he remains confident and upbeat., A national treasure, McCullough performs a national service in The American Spirit . Insightful and inspirational, it summons a vexed and divided nation to remember - and cherish - our unifying ideas and ideals., "McCullough perfectly embodies the part of remember-in-chief. . . . Happily, the same qualities that inform McCullough's histories and biographies also shape his speeches. He is, whether at his desk or a lectern, a consummate storyteller."  , "A carefully crafted, well-reasoned, heartfelt testament to what this nation can be -- past, present, and we must believe -- future."  , McCullough perfectly embodies the part of remember-in-chief. . . .

Synopsis
A New York Times Bestseller A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States--winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among many others--that reminds us of fundamental American principles. Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, the White House, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions. Now, at a time of self-reflection in America following a bitter election campaign that has left the country divided, McCullough has collected some of his most important speeches in a brief volume designed to identify important principles and characteristics that are particularly American. The American Spirit reminds us of core American values to which we all subscribe, regardless of which region we live in, which political party we identify with, or our ethnic background. This is a book about America for all Americans that reminds us who we are and helps to guide us as we find our way forward., A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States

    Regurgitated Compilation of Past Speeches

    I'm a shameless fan of the author, David McCullough, and have come to expect high standards from his writing (and he seldom disappoints). While the content of this book has his signature, satisfying writing style it lacks in what he usually also includes: a purpose or conclusion. Instead, this is simply a regurgitated compilation of his previously issued speeches across several decades and in various forums. All of the speeches contain inspired writing (some more so than others) so it is a good read in that regard. I cannot, however, recommend the book unless you simply wish to sample more of this author's writing with little in the way of purpose.

    A great historian!

    I love David McCullough’s books. This book is an accumulation of some the the talks he has given. Not only does he teach more history and acquaint us with stories about more influential people in the history of our country, but we learn more about his own love and appreciation for the history of our country. He is a great historian himself.
