Reviews
"Fascinating . . . Rubenstein elicits unexpected biographical nuggets."-- Publishers Weekly "An excellent introduction to leading historians and the books every engaged American should read."-- Kirkus Reviews, "With his legendary passion for American history, David Rubenstein's conversations with scholars and authors bring our country's story to life in a new way. The American Story illuminates the humanity, motivations, and lesser-known stories behind some of our country's most notable leaders with lessons that are important for all of us today." --Bill Gates "David Rubenstein draws out compelling stories and unexpected insights in dialogues with some of the most important historians in America. For the reader who loves American history and biography, or for anyone who would like to start, this book is for you."-- Michael Beschloss, New York Times Bestselling author of Presidents of War "Rubenstein knows in his gut that we can't know where we're going without knowing where we've been. In The American Story , one of the best interviewers I know interrogates our greatest historians to find out about critical moments in our past that speak directly to our present moment."-- Ken Burns, Director of The Vietnam War "This book tells the story of our past, but it also can help guide our future. I hope it inspires new generations to learn about our history and defend the democratic values that have always defined what it truly means to be an American."-- The Honorable Madeleine K. Albright, Former United States Secretary of State "David Rubenstein brilliantly captures the essence of many of our country's most significant historic figures and the insights of their greatest living biographers. The American Story is truly fascinating--wonderfully readable, substantively compelling, and full of unexpected revelations."-- General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Director of the CIA " The American Story is yet another of David's patriotic, philanthropic gifts to our country, its history and its citizens. It's his enthusiasm that I admire most and that drives these important conversations."-- Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach, Duke Men's Basketball "David's boundless curiosity and lifelong interest in American history make him an ideal choice to interview our nation's foremost historians. The lessons in The American Story are as timeless as they are timely." --Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution "History matters, and these engaging and enlightening conversations show why. David Rubenstein deserves a medal--as a knowledgeable, incisive and witty interlocutor, but also as the creator of these Congressional Dialogues, which present the insights of the past to those responsible for the future." --Drew Gilpin Faust, 28th President of Harvard University "A joy that people will take with them and read it. It is the best Christmas present I know of." --Hugh Hewitt "David Rubenstein's interviews are a thrilling trip to the past and ought to be required reading for anyone who cares about America's future." --Cal Thomas "The American Story is a creative concept that delivers delicious bite-size bits of American history to those who haven't had the time or inclination to read widely. I devoured every page with immense pleasure." --Kitty Kelley, Washington Independent Review of Books "Revealing, even surprisingly funny." -- The Guardian, "Fascinating . . . Rubenstein elicits unexpected biographical nuggets."-- Publishers Weekly "An excellent introduction to leading historians and the books every engaged American should read."-- Kirkus Reviews "Amiable yet informative, the interviews helpfully distill what are often massive tomes into an enjoyable collection of revelatory anecdotes, trivia, and bits of wisdom for modern legislators and citizens alike."-- Booklist, "With his legendary passion for American history, David Rubenstein's conversations with scholars and authors bring our country's story to life in a new way. The American Story illuminates the humanity, motivations, and lesser-known stories behind some of our country's most notable leaders with lessons that are important for all of us today." --Bill Gates "David Rubenstein draws out compelling stories and unexpected insights in dialogues with some of the most important historians in America.
