Will: “It is altogether fitting and proper that, with this meditation on democracy and its most subtle defender Allen Guelzo again demonstrates that he is today’s most profound interpreter of this nation’s history and significance.” Join us as we discuss not only the past, but what that past has to say about our extremely precarious present.
