Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham is the author of multiple bestselling books, including The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle, and, most recently, American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent, and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union: An Anthology. “This volume is inspiring,” says Annette Gordon-Reed of the new work, “just at the moment and in the way we need it most.”

Meacham discussed American Struggle with author/attorney Talmage Boston earlier this week. Listen to the podcast here.
