America fought her wars of independence and established herself as a global power to be respected, but recent occurrences cast aspersions on that reputation. The breakout of several skirmishes around the globe has put a lot of concerned parties on edge as they attempt to prevent what many fear can only be the opening salvo of World War 3. Now, more than ever, the rest of the world is looking to America to provide leadership. Our leaders may seem lacking in inspiration, but some believe they need not look further than our storied past. Richard V. Battle has collated the achievements of a select group of individuals worthy of emulation who stood up for justice when the need arose. AmeriCANS Who Made America is that inspirational collection.
Richard V. Battle’s exceptional collection displays all the ḩallmarks of extensive research and excellent documentation. He discusses each individual in clear and straightforward tones, highlighting what they are popularly known for and other lesser-known events in their lives. He does an impressive job of humanizing these great men and women by placing equal emphasis on their good deeds and their perceived failings. One remarkable aspect is the extent to which he widens his search to provide a balanced set of individuals, analyzing the efforts of male and female actors and the different races that played a part in forming the America we have today. He not only focuses on individuals involved in military conquests; he goes so far as to include artists, captains of industry, and even spies, showing the importance of every facet of society in developing a better future. In times like these, when the American people struggle to find inspiration in the search for answers, AmeriCANS Who Made America, with its symbolic imagery and abundance of well-placed quotes, can provide that and more.
