interesting focus on the classical backgrounds of the Founders. Wanders a bit and sometimes doesn't do a good job of explaining the basics. My greatest concern was the author dumping on Trump in the Introduction (and Afterword), exposing his left-wing bias, all of which was completely unnecessary to his points.
Also, I suspect he ignored the influence of the Bible, particularly the Hebrew bible, on the Founder's thoughts.
