Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In A Call to Heroism, Peter Gibbon argues that the heroes we honor are the embodiment of the ideals that America was founded on: liberty, justice, and tolerance chief among them.

Gibbon examines the types of heroes that we have celebrated throughout our history, and along the way, he contemplates the meanings of seven monuments and artworks dedicated to heroes to examine what these places and things say about the America of their timeand what they mean for Americans today.Full of insight and inspiration, A Call to Heroism is a provocative look at a timeless subject that has never been more important. …
