The number one New York Times best seller by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important chapter in the American story that's "as resonant today as ever" (The Wall Street Journal) - the settling of the Northwest Territory by courageous pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would define our country.

Well Crafted Storytelling

A compelling and often personal account of the founding of a state I knew nothing about. I was left with a much higher opinion of the 'Buckeye State".

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 18
At large during the most colorful period in New Orleans' history, from just after the Louisiana Purchase through the War of 1812, privateers Jean and Pierre Laffite made life hell for Spanish merchants on the Gulf. Pirates to the US Navy officers who chased them, heroes to the private citizens who shopped for contraband at their well-publicized auctions, the brothers became important members of a filibustering syndicate that included lawyers, bankers, merchants, and corrupt US officials.

The 10 enlightening (and often humorous) lectures of Medieval Myths and Mysteries will show you how far from the “dark” times of legend these centuries were. Uncover the facts about the Knights Templar. Reveal the truth behind the tales of legendary creatures like the Questing Beast and the unicorn. Trace the events of the Black Death and the ways it altered the world in its wake, and much more. With Professor Armstrong, you will dig deep into the ways that later generations reshaped the narrative of the medieval years and perpetuated the myths.

Entertaining and Informative

Very entertaining while actually very informative. I came away with a much more realistic picture of medieval life.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 445
In this revelatory biography, Evan Thomas delivers a radical, unique portrait of America’s 37th president, Richard Nixon, a contradictory figure who was both determinedly optimistic and tragically flawed. One of the principal architects of the modern Republican Party and its “silent majority” of disaffected whites and conservative ex-Dixiecrats, Nixon was also deemed a liberal in some quarters for his efforts to desegregate Southern schools, create the Environmental Protection Agency, and end the draft.

Balanced and Personal
Revisado: 06-11-16
What made the experience of listening to Being Nixon the most enjoyable?
An honest look at one of the countries most complicated presidents. Not a prosecutorial account but an honest and incitiful account of the president's struggle from poverty to the highest office against all odds.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Nixon. The book is about Nixon.
Any additional comments?
Inciteful and fair. Not an apology nor a prosecution but fair and inciteful account of a crooked man too honest to destroy the tapes that would convict him.
