AMERICAN Beyond Our Grandest Notions

Bestselling author Matthews, also seen on MSNBC's "Hardball" and NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show," describes the American character through our actions, habits, pioneer spirit, optimism, rebelliousness, and history. With deep commitment and forthright sincerity, Matthews portrays Americans as people who are independent thinkers yet who unite as a nation when threatened or attacked. He describes how a country filled with radically different people (patriots, liberals, peace enthusiasts, different ethnicities, and religions, etc.) can substantiate a single proud character. B.J.P.
