The author has done a most excellent job of reminding his audience of the greatness of our nation and when; where; and why we began to spiral downwards. He places the blame on dogmatic principles that govern the politics of Demoncrats.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

I saw the author on Frances and Friends (SBN) a couple of weeks ago. He starting telling America's history in a way that shocked me. But I am not surprised because the meat of American History is being stripped away by those who can't handle the truth. Get this book if you want to know your history!!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I've always liked Ben Kinchlow from the 700 ClubBy Customer NCI've always liked Ben Kinchlow from the 700 Club; and this book does not change that. It gave me a good understanding of the Black-to-White mindset plus the issues that blacks deal with. This book covers an historical background to the reasons for those issues as well as a sane approach to considerations that address what seem like insurmountable problems without surrendering cultural differences.
