More on States of the Union
I have recorded and posted this seven-minute video about my new book, States of the Union, on youtube. If you like it please pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested--and feel free to post comments! Thanks.
First of all, I think it was very astute of you to use scripts of State of the Union addresses to provide a "keyhole" into the many varied political landscapes of our history as a nation. Much easier, for example, than reviewing hunreds of newspaper editorials to glean the same[?] insights. Secondly, I wonder if there were any unexpected revelations or insights gathered by you through this process.
Its a very interesting concept and I am inclined to purchase the book. Thanks.
