Today's BOTD is a nonfiction read that takes readers on a journey through 8 key points in history, stopping to introduce us to leaders who have helped move America forward and making it what it is today. Teen readers through adults will find the content informative and thought-provoking. I like that it is brief, yet thorough. I've downloaded my copy...thank you so much!

I enjoyed the review, and the book sounds fascinating. However, I don't think it's for me, as I'm not into non-fiction or particularly interested in American history. That said, it seems like an excellent introductory book for those who are.

America in Context: A Pursuit of the Exemplary by Bob Dowell sounds like it'll be a great read for those interested in US history. However, I don't read nonfiction, so I'll be skipping this book.

I'm sure John Winthrop, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan played major roles in American history. I don't live in America, and I only follow major events, hence I can't comment on whether the United States is in decline. It appears that the author is patriotic and wants to improve things in his country, which is admirable. I think it's important to understand at least the basics of your country's history, and this book will help to achieve that.

[Runan]

The author is a patriot who wants the current generation of Americans to realize the true values of America. The author touches on key moments of American history and important historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan to make the readers understand what Patriots feel for their country.
