LARRY SCHWEIKART

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 7 PM
Historian LARRY SCHWEIKART will discuss the newest book, A Patriot’s History of the Modern World: From America’s Exceptional Ascent to the Atomic Bomb: 1898-1945, which he co-authored with Dave Dougherty. The book provides a new perspective on our extraordinary past—and offers lessons we can apply to preserve American exceptionalism today and tomorrow. The authors correct many of the biases that cloud the way people view major events in world history and assert the many times when America proved its dominance by upholding the principles on which it was founded – and struggled on the rare occasions when it strayed from those principles. The book emphasizes how a free, capitalist nation can thrive when put face-to-face with tyrannical and socialist powers.

Larry Schweikart is a professor of history at the University of Dayton. His previous books include A Patriot’s History of the United States, Seven Events That Made America America, and 48 Liberal Lies About American History.
