The Civil War, Pearl Harbor, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and 9\/11 are just a few. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But there are other, less famous events that had an equally profound impact. Notable conservative historian Larry Schweikart takes an in- depth look at seven of these transformative moments and provides an analysis of how each of them spurred a trend that either confirmed or departed from the vision our Founding Fathers had for America. For instance, he shows how Martin Van Buren's creation of a national political party made it possible for Obama to get elected almost two centuries later and how Dwight Eisenhower's heart attack led to a war on red meat, during which the government took control over Americans' diets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In his easy-to-read yet informative style, Schweikart will not only educate but also surprise readers into reevaluating our history.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120813752560,"sku":"9781101433027","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101433027_p0.jpg?v=1763687219","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101433027","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
