\n #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning author Jon Meacham helps us understand the present moment in American politics and life by looking back at critical times in our history when hope overcame division and fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cGripping and inspiring, The Soul of America is Jon Meacham\u2019s declaration of his faith in America.\u201d\u2014Newsday<\/p>\n

ONE OF OPRAH\u2019S \u201cBOOKS THAT HELP ME THROUGH\u201d \u2022\u00a0A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Christian Science Monitor, Southern Living<\/p>\n

Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the \u201cbetter angels of our nature\u201d have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King, Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings lawyer Joseph N. Welch, Meacham brings vividly to life turning points in American history.
\u00a0
He writes about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the birth of the Lost Cause; the backlash against immigrants in the First World War and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s; the fight for women\u2019s rights; the demagoguery of Huey Long and Father Coughlin and the isolationist work of America First in the years before World War II; the anti-Communist witch-hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; and Lyndon Johnson\u2019s crusade against Jim Crow. Each of these dramatic hours in our national life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over fear\u2014a struggle that continues even now.<\/p>\n

While the American story has not always\u2014or even often\u2014been heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress even in the gloomiest of times. In this inspiring book, Meacham reassures us,\u00a0\u201cThe good news is that we have come through such darkness before\u201d\u2014as, time and again, Lincoln\u2019s better angels have found a way to prevail.
