But while he wears both his patriotism and politics on his sleeve, Bennett avoids flag-waving or talk-radio-style generalizations.

America The Last Best Hope Vol II
This was the Second book that I selected from my Audible membership and it too was well worth the investment. I recommend the book as part of a full home schooling agenda. It is a great history resource as part of the whole set. Dr. William J. Bennett knows how to put together a complete and true picture of our American History. This book picks up from World War I up to the end of the Reagan years.
Balanced History
Dr. Bennett's second installment of his history of the USA continues as a balanced, fair treatment of our country. He ties in global events when necessary to understand the context of events in the US, but his focus is on the greatness of our nation and its special place in human history. He treats minor historical events as what they are -- minor -- and gives world changing events their due.
Kudos, Mr. Bennett!
Excellent! Why couldn't we have used this for our history text book in school? I thought you set the bar so high in Volume 1, I was excited to get vol. 2. You didn't dissappoint.
Great Follow Up to the Original
Volumes 1 & 2 cover a great deal of our history. Bennett does a great job in presenting the facts in an interesting manner. Highly recommended.
Great readable history.
A very accessible history that recognizes the great and the not so great of the country.
