Fea began the book off strong by referencing the beginning of Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli and ends it with the religious views of our founding fathers. It was nice that Fea took a scholarly approach to this topic rather than a slanderous approach like authors such as Kramnick & Moore took in their book about the same subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-87083389165358688522011-12-08T15:54:25.257-07:002011-12-08T15:54:25.257-07:00I recently read this book as part of an undergradu...I recently read this book as part of an undergraduate class. I was impressed by the books clear readable writing and the emphasis on how to think like a Historian.

As a student I would recommend his book as a class text, because of its fair-mindedness and its guide on historical thinking.Bruce Kellynoreply@blogger.com
