Book Synopsis Fears of a Setting Sun by : Dennis C. Rasmussen
Download or read book Fears of a Setting Sun written by Dennis C. Rasmussen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising story of how George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson came to despair for the future of the nation they had created Americans seldom deify their Founding Fathers any longer, but they do still tend to venerate the Constitution and the republican government that the founders created. Strikingly, the founders themselves were far less confident in what they had wrought, particularly by the end of their lives. In fact, most of them—including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson—came to deem America’s constitutional experiment an utter failure that was unlikely to last beyond their own generation. Fears of a Setting Sun is the first book to tell the fascinating and too-little-known story of the founders’ disillusionment. As Dennis Rasmussen shows, the founders’ pessimism had a variety of sources: Washington lost his faith in America’s political system above all because of the rise of partisanship, Hamilton because he felt that the federal government was too weak, Adams because he believed that the people lacked civic virtue, and Jefferson because of sectional divisions laid bare by the spread of slavery. The one major founder who retained his faith in America’s constitutional order to the end was James Madison, and the book also explores why he remained relatively optimistic when so many of his compatriots did not. As much as Americans today may worry about their country’s future, Rasmussen reveals, the founders faced even graver problems and harbored even deeper misgivings. A vividly written account of a chapter of American history that has received too little attention, Fears of a Setting Sun will change the way that you look at the American founding, the Constitution, and indeed the United States itself.

Book Synopsis Rising Star, Setting Sun by : John T Shaw
Download or read book Rising Star, Setting Sun written by John T Shaw and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After winning the presidency by a razor-thin victory on November 8, 1960, over Richard Nixon, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s former vice president, John F. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth president of the United States. But beneath the stately veneers of both Ike and JFK, there was a complex and consequential rivalry. In Rising Star, Setting Sun, John T. Shaw focuses on the intense ten-week transition between JFK’s electoral victory and his inauguration on January 20, 1961. In just over two months, America would transition into a new age, and nowhere was it more marked that in the generational and personal difference between these two men and their dueling visions for the country they led. The former general espoused frugality, prudence, and stewardship. The young political wu¨nderkid embodied dramatic themes and sweeping social change. Extensively researched and eloquently written, Shaw paints a vivid picture of what Time called a “turning point in the twentieth century” as Americans today find themselves poised on the cusp of another watershed moment in our nation’s history.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rising the Setting Faith and Other Discourses I am to speak this morning on the mission of the radical preacher. The first question is whether the radical preacher has any mission; for this is asserted and challenged. One said to me lately, "Why do you preach? What right have you to preach? You have no creed; you speak with no authority; you claim no revelation; you stand in no apostolic succession; you have no inspired word; you claim to have no special call; you are where you are by no supernatural invitation, by no unseen commission. You are simply one whose opinion weighs for what it is worth, whose words stand for the amount of truth that lies behind them, whose assertion is fortified perhaps by character, possibly by intelligence, peradventure by knowledge, but surely by these alone, by nothing beyond or above these, and by these, no more than they are possessed by any body else in the community.
