Book Review: A Century Turns by William J. Bennett

In bestselling author Bill Bennett's follow up to America: The Last Best Hope, he picks up with the end of the Reagan presidency and carries us through twenty years of political controversy to the historical election of Barack H. Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.

In A Century Turns: New Hopes, New Fears, Bennett continues what has become for many a textbook of American history, told by one who has lived through much of the modern political scene; one who knows and understands the inner workings of American government.

Bennett shares in a colorful and authoritative, educational and informative way -- one that is totally unaffected by the media bias that most of us have filtered history through all of our lives. Bennett's tale if very open an honest, free of slant to one side or another (while his political leanings are obvious, he does not force his opinion on the reader as an opportunity to slam those with whom he disagrees politically, morally, or philosophically).

If you are a student of politics and history, much of what Bill Bennett shares in A Century Turns: New Hopes, New Fears will not be new to you -- only told without the filter of the mainstream media's liberal bias. He does, however, tell the story in a very entertaining and relaxing manner. You will very likely find yourself enriched after spending a few hours between the covers of A Century Turns: New Hopes, New Fears.
