NPC Books & Brunch to Discuss Jon Meacham's 'Soul of America' on Saturday, Dec. 15

Please join Books and Brunch for a discussion of Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels by Jon Meacham at noon on Saturday, Dec. 15, in The National Press Club's Fourth Estate Restaurant.

The New York Times calls The Soul of America both engaging and troubling. "Meacham returns to other moments in our history when fear and division seemed rampant. He wants to remind us that the current political turmoil is not unprecedented, that as a nation we have survived times worse than this."

Meacham contrasts some of our revered leaders' successes with their failures and our less-distinguished leaders with their achievements.

Join us and share your insights regarding our society and its ability to survive its current divisions and come together as a unified, diverse population. Books and Brunch is open to all Club members and their guests. Lunch may be ordered off the restaurant's menu. It is not mandatory to read the book; plenty to learn from hearing the discussion.

If you are able to attend, please contact Fay Iudicello at [email protected] or call her at (703) 989-4503 before noon on Thursday, Dec. 13. We want to assure adequate seating and service for all attendees.
