I'm a little more than halfway through the book. As someone who enjoys history, I think I have always read about the who, where, and what happened. This books context about the Why has opened my eyes about the growth and direction of American history as driven by the political and business landscape.

This book does cover a great deal of history and themes. I’ve always been one to enjoy history heavy books although more in a fictional sense. Happy to see this book cover such a wide range of history in such amazing detail.

The book covers a lot of the history of America' entrepreneurs and businesses. I am not much of a history buff but it important to know your history and using it to succeed in the future.

Some of the themes explored in the book, in my opinion, include the uniqueness and pioneering spirit of the Americans. The book demonstrates these by giving historical background, drawing comparisons with other nations, and highlighting their accomplishments in innovation.
