"A critical, informative and ambitious study that honors the best American impulses without ignoring the times the country has fallen from grace" - Publishers Weekly

"At a time when we need to restore America's standing in so many places, Ark of the Liberties shows us how we can do it if we remain true to our historic ideals" - Bill Clinton

"Of interest to all who care about our country and the direction we must take in the years ahead" - Ted Kennedy

From its earliest beginnings, America has been seen as an icon of liberty with a mission to redeem the world.

Often, the ideal fits. But sometimes even our most noble aspirations can be as damaging as they are uplifting.

With wit, brilliance, and deep affection, the inimitable Ted Widmer traces America's wondrous history, from the Declaration of Independence to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

He also looks unblinkingly at our less glorious history, from slavery to the occupation of Iraq.

This thoughtful, celebratory critique is written in the conviction that if Americans want the world to respect us more, then it will certainly help to know ourselves a little better.
