The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels

I read this for my book club. Most people really loved this book and got a lot out of it. For me it was a little too forgiving of past presidents. I don't think we got were we are because of the current occupant. That being said I would have liked a more balance. Churchill was great for saving us from Hitler but really bad in dealing with the British Raj. I don't expect my leaders to be saints but when they rise above their own prejudices and do the right thing, I think showing that is a better story. This book is good showing the high points of leaders and the low points of others. I would it would have shown less hero worship and more recognition of the interior battles we all fight to attain to our better angels.
