Among the interesting points Phillips covers include: 1. Being a team leader and member. 2. Turning a positive into a negative. 3. Be a learner and refuse to lose. 4. Leaders are risk-takers and change agents. 5. Leaders must understand ...

Vintage, 2002

Band of brothers
Ellis brings to well-crafted life the fragile nature of the American experiment in the first years after the revolution and the Constitution. He uses six short stories or incidents to frame this so-fragile balance between war and peace, Federalist and Republican, the very success or ignominious death of the American experiment: --The Burr/Hamilton duel (in which Burr, the sitting VP shot ...

He Didn't Chop Down The Cherry Tree, Either
Shortly after Washington's death, certain writers began trying to depict him as a devout orthodox Christian. Mason Weem's book of 1800 was representative of this group and was reprinted regularly with newly added tales about Washington the pious man of prayer. The memorable story about the cherry tree came in the fifth edition in 1806 but the disreputable Weems was easily discredited. ...

Princeton University Press, 2006

Refreshing, Accurate & Fair History of First Amendment
I have to agree with the other reviewers here (like Jack Kessler below): This is a book that should be read by BOTH pro-separationists and anti-separationists. Of all the books that I have read on the subject, this book was *refreshingly* honest, accurate and scholarly, not to mention, a rather enjoyable reading. The author stays clear of attacking either pro-separationists or ...

Financial Founding Fathers: The Men Who Made America Rich
Robert E. Wright, David J. Cowen

University Of Chicago Press, 2006

When you think of the founding fathers, you think of men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin?exceptional minds and matchless statesmen who led the colonies to a seemingly impossible victory over the British and established the constitutional and legal framework for our democratic government. But the American Revolution was about far more than freedom and liberty. It was about economics as well. Robert E. Wright and ...

Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different

Gordon S. Wood

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

exceptional gentlemen and the herd
Read "Revolutionary Characters" in combination with "Founding Brothers" for an excellent duo, and compare and contrast the two in their approaches and content. This is not a history of the revolution or a detailed analysis of our form of government. Wood has done what he claimed - a look at the character of the subjects, how that influenced their work, and how they were a reflection of, or an ...

The anti-Davinci Code
Carroll's book is very influential. He argues that men, women, and God make an impact on history. We are even seing this today. There is no other tme in our life where the Church has been persecuted this bad (scandals, and now the Davinci Code) For many of you "DAVINCI LOVERS", this is a great book from an orthodox Christian point of view.I highly recommend it.

An informative examination of the two key founders
Few books have treated this topic, Madison and Washington's collaboration, and this is an excellent treatment. Unravelling the waxing and waning of this relationship serves well those interested in the Federalist Era. The scholarship is obvious, and the presentaion is good. Those interested in the unfoldings of the Republic must pay attention to the Father of the Country, and his relationship to ...

James H. Hutson

Library of Congress, 1998

Scholarly presentation of a volatile subject
A masterful treatment of a difficult subject. Refreshing in it's even-handedness, staying clear of the strident presentation too often represented in this subject area. Based on substantial quotations from original text, the author presents the facts of the federal and state legal positions on church and religion. Further, he presents the influence of religious principles on the ...

The Founding Fathers, Neither Jeckels nor Hydes
This is a great addition to the history books covering the founding of our nation. Ellis covers the facts and corrects the fictions have become lore, and does so in a manner that is interesting and revealing. The Founding Fathers were neither geniuses who walked on water with the foresight of gods; nor were they evil white men hell-bent on establishing a utopia for themselves only. Yes, they ...
