Rezensionen
Making Patriots von Walter Berns
Very interesting read. I have read a lot about the revolutionary war era. This book had much information on that time, but also on Abraham Lincoln and the history of slavery and the civil war. It was an eye opening account for me, of Lincoln's struggles to hold the country together before and during the war. The last chapter and the epilogue make a US citizen proud of his country and glad to be an American. Highly recommended.
1437 The First Amendment and the Future of American Democracy, by Walter Berns (read 10 Mar 1977) I found this a very thought-provoking book, raising questions which the author answers in ways which resonated with me at the time I read this. He was more questioning about the then direction of the Supreme Court's cases than I today am of that direction, what with a rightward tilt in the Court now which was not as evident at the time the book was written.
