THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great

Listeners familiar with the prolific author's incendiary YouTube appearances will be pleasantly surprised by his performance of this audiobook, a well-crafted examination of why Western civilization is in danger of falling apart. Flawless phrasing and accurate interpretations are expected from author/narrators (who know exactly what they are trying to say), and Shapiro delivers in this regard. His performance projects vocal security, a comfortable authenticity that makes his more controversial ideas easy to hear. His unyielding emphasis on good and evil is unfashionable: His examples and remedies harken to times when complying with higher authority, both human and divine, created the purpose needed to fight large-scale wrongs like slavery, the Nazis, and the abandonment of huge swaths of people by their governments.
