The folks at Business Insider have been kind to American Nations, re-upping their article on the paradigm a few times over the past couple of years, each time reaching a new cohort of readers previously unfamiliar with the book.
Today they’ve also included it in this “11 Books That Will Make You Smarter About Politics,” in the company of some heavy hitters like David Halberstam, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Madeline Albright. So, thanks again BI!
Partly as a result of their June 18 re-up, for those in the Badger State, I’ll be the guest on Wisconsin Public Radio’s statewide morning show July 4, 7 to 8 am Central, talking about the American Nations framework and the lessons it brings us. Tune in if you’re there!
