Through his popular program The David Rubenstein Show, David Rubenstein has established himself as one of our most thoughtful interviewers. Now, in The American Story, David captures the brilliance of our most esteemed historians, as well as the souls of their subjects. The book features introductions by Rubenstein as well a foreword by Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman and the first African American to lead our national library. Richly illustrated with archival images from the Library of Congress, the book is destined to become a classic for serious readers of American history.

I can't recommend this book highly enough to anyone interested in American history. It's essentially a sampler of all the great historians of the past 50 years and has thrown my "To Be Read" pile into complete disarray.

Brilliant!

This was a fascinating book, even for a Canadian! Particularly when the American political system is in such chaos currently. I learned a great deal about past Presidents, and other dynamic characters within that system. The section on the founding mothers was a bonus. Bravo!

Required reading for all Americans
