Booknotes: Stories from American History is the most recent collection of edited essays by C-SPAN founder and CEO Brian Lamb, drawn from his dozen years as host of the network's Sunday night author-interview series, Booknotes. The third to evolve from the series, this book focuses on three centuries of stories from America's history. Many of the author interviews gathered for this collection offer historical perspective to events on the wake of September 11.
"American history is shaped by great and small events, and in recent years a generation of writers have brought these events to life. They have shared these stories with the viewers of the long-running C-SPAN author-interview program, Booknotes, and here some of the best have been collected for readers to savor. Contemporary writers and historians examine moments from American history, celebrated and uncelebrated alike, from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to the publishing of the Pentagon Papers, from the Boston Tea Party to the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, from the battlefields of the Civil War to the raising of the American flag over Iwo Jima to the release of America's POWs from Vietnam." - PublicAffairs Books
