A Master Historian at His BestBy PupMomOutstanding! The first book I have come across on the subject. People will complain that it is not thorough and that it moves too fast. McDougall has several other books that go into detail on American history and foreign policy. This; however; it an explanation of how our civil religion affects and changes our actions in foreign affairs. It is a sobering look into our national psyche that every American; most of all our leaders; should read. Well researched; well written; and well worth it!2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Another great work by W.
