10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America (History Channel Presents) ReviewIn "10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America", Steven M. Gillon writes about key events in US history and their impact on American Society. Gillon does this while paying close attention to historical accuracy and with lively writing that is sharp, descriptive, and enjoyable.Gillon's book is about historical events that caused, for better or worse, long-lasting changes in American history. Gillon does not write about April 6, 1917, when America entered World War I, or December 8, 1941, when America declared War on Japan. Gillon does not cover the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, which had profound effects in American society. The author does not write about the 1973 landmark case: "Roe v. Wade". Instead, Gillon selects what some may view as obscure events, but that are all important in the sense that they did cause unforeseen change in American history.
Gillon covers a wide range of events, from the slaughter of the Pequot Indians by the Puritans to the murders of three young civil rights workers in Mississippi. Did Shays' rebellion lead to the creation of the Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative branches of the government? Was the Battle of Antietam the beginning of the end of the Civil War? Was Elvis Presley the "founding father" of rock and roll? These are but some of the questions that Gillon wants us to ponder.
Few Americans will disagree that Theodore Roosevelt was the architect of significant changes in American history. However, would Roosevelt have become president if President William McKinley had not been assassinated in 1901? While some readers may disagree with Gillon's selection of events, his book will still make for interesting and lively reading - the reader will have to make his or her own assessment.
Whether you agree or disagree with Gillon's ten historical events, one thing is certain: "10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America" will give every reader food for thought with Gillon's wide-angle view of our past, our present, and perhaps our future.10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America (History Channel Presents) Overview
