From the revolt of the colonies against king and parliament to present-day tax revolts, militia movements, and debates about term limits, Wills shows that American antigovernment sentiment is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our history. By debunking some of our fondest myths about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the taming of the frontier, Wills shows us how our tendency to hold our elected government in disdain is misguided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarry Wills is the author of 21 books, including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eLincoln at Gettysburg \u003c\/i\u003e(winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award), \u003ci\u003eJohn Wayne's America, Certain Trumpets, Under God, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNecessary Evil.\u003c\/i\u003e A frequent contributor to many national publications, including the\u003ci\u003e New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books, \u003c\/i\u003e he is also an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University and lives in Evanston, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.55 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52614076072243,"sku":"9780684870267","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TE9MaW4rMml6dGJxbTcvcmx4MnZrQT09.webp?v=1761865016","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-necessary-evil-a-history-of-american-distrust-of-government-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
