[Many, many, many times over the last year, I’ve wished that more Americans would have the chance to read my writing and learn even a few of the many lessons I believe it offers for us in 2025. So for my annual Wishes for the Holiday Elves series, I wanted to revisit my six books, highlighting something specific from each that I think we could takeaway today. Leading up to a special post on my awesome wife’s Christmastastic new book!]
Back in July, I concluded my 4th of July series with an offer and a request: an offer to send an e-copy of my sixth book Of Thee I Sing: The Contested History of American Patriotism (2021) to anyone interested; and a request for any and all opportunities where I might talk about that project and its ever-more-relevant resonances. I would make exactly the same offer and request for my fifth book (a direct complement to my sixth, from the same American Ways series): We the People: The 500-Year Battle over Who is American (2019). So as I conclude this series of Wishes for the Holiday Elves, I’ll make that multilayered offer and request into a wish as well: that every American have the chance to check out these two short, accessible, and damn relevant books; and that I have the chance to talk about them far and wide as well. You know what to do!
Special post this weekend,
Ben
PS. I say again: you know what to do, here or by email!
