The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789
By: Robert Middlekauf
You will be inspired by this true story and a true cause that continues today. The founding of the Republic of the united states of America is quite a glorious story at that. This book will surpass any documentary you can possibly watch.
This glorious story is 248 years old… only. This is an extremely short period of time in the scope of history. There has never been a country like the United Sates of America: a Government by the people for the people.
The intentions of our brilliant Founding Fathers are still in motion today towards the fulfillment of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the Constitution for the united states of America (1789). This truly is up to us as citizens.
Catherine the Great, Portrait of a Woman
By Robert K. Massie
This book is the true story of Catherine the Great, the Empress of Russia in the same time period as the American Colonies and the declaration for a United States of America. This period of history is named the Enlightenment Period.
A fascinating story of Russia, this book allowed me to understand the politics of Europe in the 18th century, the economic tug of war for the water port of Crimea between Russia and Turkey, the landmass that is modern day Ukraine today, and how this played out through the 20th century to today. We were also never taught that Russia came to the aid of the American colonies to win the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War 1861-1865. And this story continues to play out today.
This book gives you the historical perspective to understand our current geo-political world today with the clarity to understand where our future for prosperity is leading us.
