Legacy to the World

Max Skidmore has a very intelligent view and an understanding for what he is writing about. These books are a great learning tool that will only make oneself that much smarter.

Thoughtful, readable and wide ranging survey.

"Legacy to the World" is an entertaining, readable yet scholarly discussion of the origins and expression of American political thought from colonial times to the present. The author brings a large body of knowledge and deep understanding of an extensive literature to the task, and weaves his discussion of political thought with numerous examples of the politics, events, lives and personalities from U.S. history.
