Description
“With his legendary passion for American history, David Rubensteinâ€s
conversations with scholars and authors bring our countryâ€s story to
life in a new way. The American Story illuminates the humanity,
motivations, and lesser-known stories behind some of our countryâ€s
most notable leaders with lessons that are important for all of us
today.―—Bill Gates “David Rubenstein draws out compelling stories
and unexpected insights in dialogues with some of the most important
historians in America. Â For the reader who loves American history and
biography, or for anyone who would like to start, this book is for
you.―—Michael Beschloss, New York Times Bestselling author of
Presidents of War “Rubenstein knows in his gut that we can't know
where we're going without knowing where we've been. In The American
Story, one of the best interviewers I know interrogates our greatest
historians to find out about critical moments in our past that speak
directly to our present moment.―—Ken Burns, Director of The Vietnam
War “This book tells the story of our past, but it also can help guide
our future. I hope it inspires new generations to learn about our
history and defend the democratic values that have always defined what
it truly means to be an American.―—The Honorable Madeleine K.
Albright, Former United States Secretary of State
“David Rubenstein brilliantly captures the essence of many of our
countryâ€s most significant historic figures and the insights of their
greatest living biographers. The American Story is truly
fascinating—wonderfully readable, substantively compelling, and full
of unexpected revelations.―—General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.),
former Director of the CIA “The American Story is yet another of
Davidâ€s patriotic, philanthropic gifts to our country, its history and
its citizens. Itâ€s his enthusiasm that I admire most and that drives
these important conversations.―—Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach, Duke
Menâ€s Basketball “Davidâ€s boundless curiosity and lifelong
interest in American history make him an ideal choice to interview our
nationâ€s foremost historians. The lessons in The American Story are as
timeless as they are timely.―—Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution “History matters, and these engaging and
enlightening conversations show why. David Rubenstein deserves a
medal—as a knowledgeable, incisive and witty interlocutor, but also as
the creator of these Congressional Dialogues, which present the insights
of the past to those responsible for the future.―—Drew Gilpin Faust,
28th President of Harvard University“Fascinating . . . Rubenstein

elicits unexpected biographical nuggets.―—Publishers Weekly
“An excellent introduction to leading historians and the books every
engaged American should read.―—Kirkus Reviews “Amiable yet
informative, the interviews helpfully distill what are often massive
tomes into an enjoyable collection of revelatory anecdotes, trivia, and
bits of wisdom for modern legislators and citizens alike.―—Booklist
