review 1: It's been a while since I read this one, but it had a profound effect upon me. It has influenced much of the way I've been looking on the ever-lengthening 21st century, and on the way I've been consuming past centuries...especially when I'm considering history lecture materials for my senior classes. This is one of the easiest-to-read politico-historical-philosophical epics you are every likely to read.
review 2: I read this book out of a sense of curiosity and a love for some of Wright's previous work. (I read 'A Short History of Progress' in a first year history class).I found it to be just what I was looking for - the answer to a lot of questions I had about the attitudes of 'backwoods america' and why those attitudes exist, a more thorough history on what... more happened (and is continuing to happen) to the natives, and a look at the gratuitous war-making of the nation over history.Highly recommended, well timed, incredibly well-researched and fascinating. less
