THE GREAT CONTRADICTION The Tragic Side of the American Founding

by | Read by Kimberly Farr

History • 8 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

This account of how the Founders dealt with the issues of slavery and the treatment of America's Indigenous populations is solidly narrated by Golden Voice Kimberly Farr. Ellis, a prominent historian, goes into detail about the contradictions inherent in America's founding relating to those two issues. He also notes that the Founders were people and that irony and contradiction are quite often the stuff of life--and history. Farr has a controlled, disciplined delivery. Her enunciation is excellent, and her pacing makes this work quite easy to follow. She is appropriately expressive but takes a dispassionate approach here. With the approaching 250th Anniversary of the Founding of the country, this audiobook will be in demand. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
