America Empire Of Liberty by David Reynolds

America Empire Of Liberty by David Reynolds

This epic narrative tells Americas story through the voices of those who lived it Presidents and farmers, mothers and children, settlers and soldiers, slaves and Indians.

Reynolds's presentation combines enthusiasm with authority, and his insightful and far-ranging text is augmented by a wealth of archive voices, from speeches to people in the street * Oldie *
Reynolds' vigorous presentation of his sweep of American history, and the interwoven voices and news reports of the time, make for striking immediacy * Observer *
Auntie's latest Radio 4 history series (this is volume 1, up to 1860) may well topple my all-time favourite, This Sceptred Isle, from its so far unchallenged number one spot.. A seriously major production. -- Sue Arnold * The Guardian *

David Reynolds is a Professor of International History at Cambridge University, and a Fellow of Christ's College. He was awarded the Wolfson Prize for History, 2004, and elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2005. He has written and presented several history films for the BBC - among them the 2008 series Summits. His books include several on modern America and its relations with Europe. His fascination with the country dates back to a year living there as a student, culminating in an epic ten-week, 10,000 mile bus journey in the summer of 1974 which ended outside the White House on the morning Richard Nixon resigned. David has been a regular visitor to the United States ever since and has held visiting university appointments at Harvard, Nebraska and Oklahoma. America, Empire of Liberty, his book linked to the BBC Radio 4 series, was published by Penguin in 2009.
