Lincoln at Two Hundred: Why We Still Read the Sixteenth President
ISBN: 9780844743646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "We say that a man can be known by the company he keeps. So I say that a nation, a people, can be known and be judged by its heroes, by whom it honors above all others." Abraham Lincoln was the greatest of our presidents. He saved the Union, and because he saved the Union, he was able to free the slaves. But he did more than this. Without him, we might have had no reason to celebrate the bicentennial first of the Declaration of Independence and then of the Constitution. It is therefore altogether fitting that we mark the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. Lincoln at Two Hundred was presented on...

Making Patriots
ISBN: 9780226044385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych.

Walter Berns's Making Patriots is a pithy and provocative essay on precisely...
