A Century Turns



I never really stop to think about how much this country has changed in the last twenty years. The era that Mr. Bennett starts I was just starting me teen years, never really gave any though to what was going on here in the USA let alone the world. I remember some of the things he talks about but some I do not remember. This book is a great tool that I can use to teach me kids what went on in American when I was growing up.
I have read the books America the Last Best hope by the same author and this book is the end piece to those books.
I have always really enjoyed William Bennett’s books, and really love his history books and how he makes them come alive.
A Century Turns is a must have for any history buff like myself or just those that want to know what has happened to this country in the last twenty years. This book needs to be study by are young people and know that we have changed dramatically in the last twenty years.
I am grateful that I was give a copy of this book by Thomas Nelson publishing and say to all who read this review to get a copy of your own and really come to understand this book and the history it teaches.
