The Founding Fathers come back to life at Independence Hall, borrow a tour bus and with Paul Revere at the wheel set off to see if the country they created has turned out as they envisioned. Hop on the bus as Washington, Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Abigail Adams and crew travel around a United States that has broken up into a collection of states divided by political, social and religious beliefs. Along the way, they meet up with Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Sam Clemens, Geronimo and average Americans who all try to explain what has happened since the American Revolution. If you read only one book about politics this year, this should be the one.
