Sobre IBD

The author presents a series of thirty-seven events that have had a profound impact on the course of American history by giving the country, its people, and its government new meaning and new direction. They not only changed lives but they literally transformed the nation. And while they held promises for the future, they held warnings as well. The book examines the background, the origin, and the legacy of the events and the lives of the leading figures and the times that engulfed them. The book gives the reader a basis by which to better understand and appreciate America’s national heritage and the short and the long-range consequences of events and executive decisions. These events not only shaped the country’s history but continue to have impact on its future as well.
