The book includes a stirring call-to-action for every American to understand the ideals behind the 'noble experiment in ordered liberty' that is America. It also paints a vivid picture of the tremendous fragility of that experiment and explains why that fragility has been dangerously forgotten - and in doing so it lays out our own responsibility to live those ideals and carry on those freedoms. Metaxas believes America is not a nation bounded by ethnic identity or geography, but rather by a radical and unprecedented idea, based upon liberty and freedom. 650 0 $a Liberty. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Liberty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997251 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20201028010214.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20200707012001.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39E07268AF9711EAB597040797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
