Hellfire Nation by James A Morone
This retelling of American political history shows that, despite the clear separation of church and state, religion lies at the heart of American politics.
"In a beautifully written book, Morone has integrated the history of American political thought with a perceptive study of religion's role in our public lifeSeeing the American story as a moral tale is always instructive, and Morone shows how it is impossible to grapple with our continuing effort to 'redeem and reform' ourselves absent an understanding of the nation's faith-communities. May Hellfire Nation encourage Americans to discover (or rediscover) the ‘moral dreams that built a nation.’”—E. J. Dionne Jr., syndicated columnist and author of Why Americans Hate Politics and They Only Look Dead
"This is American history the way I like it, prodigiously researched and vivaciously told. Mr. Morone has a knack for peeling off veneers, for locating the surprising fact, for adopting the unexpected and illuminating slant. He is a rarity, a scholar who is never boring."—Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of a New Machine
