This is a mix of ethics, US History, Ukraine independence and sovereignty, philosophy, civics and personal anecdotes. It‘s thought provoking, and since I agree with his claims, especially education and social mobility topics, I loved it. He made some points that I hadn‘t connected, somewhat loosely, but excellent book club discussion fodder. I continue to love everything he writes-excellent.

They [formerly revolutionary ideas] would be worn with pride and proclaimed, after a remarkably short time, to be traditional and quintessentially English.

Good: A well written overview of the four men and their 1912 presidential race.

Bad: Less depth than I had hoped for.

I liked the book but it somehow had less substance than I expected and so let me down. Would be good if you're looking for summary bios of the candidates and the presidential race of 1912.

The audiobook quality is TERRIBLE! It was clearly edited and the post-production is awful. Every few minutes it sounds like the narrator has walked into a bathroom. On the bright side, the author already mentioned that the entire territory of the Mongol emperor, Chagatai, encompasses the full territory he covers in this book, so I‘m switching to Khan:Empire of Silver for #readingasia2021 #tajikistan

Librarybelle I think that‘s the best review of an audiobook ever! 😂 3y

We've seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy.
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith, we trust.
For while we have our eyes on the future,
history has its eyes on us.

-Amanda Gorman, 1/20/21
