A terrific book that furthers the ongoing reevaluation of U.S. Grant’s presidency. Devotees of "The Lost Cause" will find this painful reading, as the sadism of the Confederate soldiers who joined the Klan by the thousands was off the charts...

Spoke yesterday to an American Presidency class at Millikin University on 'The Lost Soul of the American Presidency.' With thanks to Prof. Dan Monroe and a great group of students.

Only someone completely unschooled in the fundamentals of republican government would view this as a legitimate question.

Two leaders contemptuous of the principles animating this document soiling it by their very presence.

Terrific endorsement from

Coming next Spring.
"Steve Knott has both a magisterial knowledge of the U.S. presidency and a deep loyalty to truly American ideals. Both of these virtues shine from every page of this book,
Some thoughts of mine on a founding father who warned repeatedly of the dangers presented by demagogues who appeal to the worst in human nature. Trump's rise to power and the authoritarian character of his presidency would come as no surprise to Hamilton.

Absolutely!

I had the privilege of being interviewed by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center. Our discussion focused on Alexander Hamilton -- this is a portion of the interview. youtube.com/shorts/RO6Ed...

Yes, you too can date a member of a cult that worships an utterly repugnant human being.
Irresistible.

Dereliction of duty on the part of the White House Historical Association. Taking photos and grabbing relics as the East Wing is destroyed — instead of speaking up when it mattered.

This comes as a surprise because he’s always shown such an appreciation for history.
