Title: “Flight of the Eagle: The Grand Strategies That Brought America from Colonial Dependence to World Leadership”
Author: Conrad Black
Rank: 17
Blurb: “Like an eagle, American colonists ascended from the gulley of British dependence to the position of sovereign world power in a period of merely two centuries. Seizing territory in Canada and representation in Britain; expelling the French, and even their British forefathers, American leaders George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson paved their nation’s way to independence. With the first buds of public relation techniques — of communication, dramatization, and propaganda — America flourished into a vision of freedom, of enterprise, and of unalienable human rights.”
Review: “I checked his biography and was surprised to learn that he is a citizen of Canada.”
