Such a fresh retelling of the American story is especially needed today, to shape and deepen young Americans' sense of the land they inhabit, help them to understand its roots and share in its memories, all the while equipping them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. Too often they reflect a fragmented outlook that fails to convey to American readers the grand trajectory of their own history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis state of affairs cannot continue for long without producing serious consequences. A great nation needs and deserves a great and coherent narrative, as an expression of its own self-understanding and its aspirations; and it needs to be able to convey that narrative to its young effectively. Of course, it goes without saying that such a narrative cannot be a fairy tale of the past. It will not be convincing if it is not truthful. But as \u003ci\u003eLand of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly shows, there is no contradiction between a truthful account of the American past and an inspiring one. Readers of \u003ci\u003eLand of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e will find both in its pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfred M.
