Jon Meacham discusses his book, The Soul of America", with Chris Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball on 5/6/18. The United States’ current partisan fury feels unprecedented, but Pulitzer-winning presidential historian Jon Meacham knows better. In The Soul of America, Meacham, whose past subjects include George H.W. Bush, Thomas Jefferson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, writes about the presidents and citizen activists who have pushed America forward. From the Civil War to the fight for suffrage to the March on Washington, Meacham shows that while the battle for progress is constant, our country has always chosen hope, never fear. Meacham is in conversation with Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s Hardball. https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9...
