Thomas J. Fleming Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Exploring the tension between Classical Liberal individualism and Leftist collectivism, the author critiques modern moral and political theories for neglecting human nature. By revisiting pre-modern traditions, both pagan and Christian, he argues against ideological extremism without presenting a specific political agenda.

Liberty! The American Revolution brings to life one of the most important and compelling stories in our country's history: the struggle for independence and the birth of the American nation.

The companion volume to the PBS television series of the same name, Liberty! is illustrated with more than 200 full color paintings and photographs, illuminating the revolutionary period as never before. Most important, Liberty! traces the evolution of the ideals that inspired a generation of Americans to struggle against Britain - then the most powerful nation in the world - to establish the free society and democratic system that is so inherently and uniquely American.
