The Great Courses series
Tying together our past and our present
It is one thing to read the Federalist Papers; it is another to understand them and their significance in the founding of the republic and its subsequent development. I need to have this kind of stuff explained to me and Great Courses has rounded up some really good teachers who are willing to do the explaining.
If nothing else, the lectures explain just how new and unique was the system of government being created by our Founding Fathers. Interesting to note that they weren't sure it would last even fifty years, let alone two hundred and fifty.
Three and a three-quarters stars -- and a place on the re-read pile.
