The 5000 Year Leap December 10, 2009

This is an excellent read! I highly recommend it and wish that this subject matter was taught throughout High School in the US. It would make for a more informed young adult. It debunks a lot of the statements regarding our country, it's founders and their intent in forming this country. It is a good primer for someone starting to research some of the US Founding Father's understandings and intentions for the new country.
It has the references to source so that the reader can go directly to the original work and make up their own mind about the interpretation.
It reads fast and is clearly written so that a high school level reader will be able to comprehend quickly.

This is very interesting and I learned a lot about the Constitution, our government and the people that set it up. This is a book every American should read!
Extraordinarily vision-expanding book March 17, 2009

I agree with the other reviewers who said that every American, and every citizen of any nation that wishes to prosper, should read and ponder this book.
How could the 19th Century begin with Americans traveling by horse-drawn carts and sailboats, just as they did in 2000 B.C., communicating by quill and ink, as they did in ancient Egypt, wearing clothes that had to be hand loomed, as in ancient Sumeria, and yet end the 19th century with automobiles, telegraphs, telephones, steam ships, electricity, mechanized factories, and the airplane about to be invented? How could untold freedom and prosperity, advances in the arts, medicine and the sciences come about so rapidly -- a 5,000 year leap?
The incredible story of America's most spectacularly advancing century, that changed the whole world without foreign aid or socialism, is told with eye-opening insight and wisdom.
You are short changing your education and your family's if you don't read this book.
Shows Us What We Are Fighting to Preserve and Protect... April 7, 2009

Ronald Reagan said...
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
This book provides a solid framework of what is exceptional about America and why it must be preserved. American freedom has created the fertile ground which has lifted billions of people from cold, thirsty and hungry to a better place.
Unfortunately if more people don't start to get it, then we may lose much of what makes this all possible. This is a good book to get everyone on your Christmas list...
