About this book
Over the past twenty-five years C-SPAN has established itself as a national treasure. And Booknotes the flagship of its book programming has become the premier place to see serious thoughtful nonfiction get its television due. Over the past fifteen years Brian Lamb the CEO of C-SPAN and host of Booknotes has interviewed 765 authors on the program and these deep and wide-ranging interviews have been the basis for three bestselling Booknotes books. Now in a new collection Booknotes: On American Character Lamb has selected seventy original pieces that reveal something about America: the nations people history and character. Here are biographies of artists businessmen politicians and inventors; stories of events famous infamous and less well-known in the nations history; a look at how politics works in America and how the nation responds to conflict. Our leading historians journalists and public figures draw from a diverse set of sources to examine what kind of nation and people we are. The result is a valuable addition to the Booknotes legacy and a welcome read for any fan of the program.
