A new take on American history
Two new nonfiction books examine American history in interesting ways. In The Founders’ Second Amendment, author Stephen P. Halbrook — a research fellow at The Independent Institute on Oakland, Calif. — argues that the framers of the Constitution did not mean for the Second Amendment was not meant to solely reserve the right of states to have militias, but for individuals to keep and to bear arms. And in American Between The Wars, Derek Chollet and James Goldgeier argue that the horror of 9/11 actually began Nov. 9, 1989, with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
