The American Founding

15 shelf pages
Books on the American Founding in shelves 200 through 209, with a colorful Turkish rug in front

The Turkish rug in front of the shelves gives the scene a slightly devotional air. It recalls Fouad Ajami’s observation, after reading the manuscript of The Imperial Temptation, that my reverence for the American Founders reminded him of the Shia clerics he had known in Lebanon. This was not a compliment.
