Book Description
In this classic work, Russell Kirk describes the beliefs and institutions that have nurtured the American soul and commonwealth. His analytical narrative might be called "a tale of five cities": Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia. For an understanding of the significance of America at the dawn of a new century, Kirk's masterpiece on the history of American civilization is unsurpassable.
