America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story - [13 Feb 2010]
I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I'm really enjoying it. I've found out a lot about the Liberty Bell, some of the historic buildings, and the Underground Railroad, to name a few. It's a good read and is well researched,

Outstanding - [05 Feb 2010]
Feiler traces the uses to which the character Moses has been put during the entire American experience - from the Pilgrims to the Civil Rights movement. His prose is eminently readable and enjoyable, and his history is accurate. More impressive, his research...

I have always had a tough time with most non fiction and and history. This has been a very good read. I feel like I'm watching a really good documentary. The message that the history brings is exciting, heart warming and ispirational.

Factually challenged - [10 Dec 2009]

Good but repetitive - [21 Nov 2009]
I enjoyed this book, but the point that the story of Moses and the Exodus resonates throughout American history and symbology is made early on and basically repeated throughout. Feiler's previous books stand up a bit better against this one.
