Meacham chronicles America's ongoing struggle between politics and religion from George Washington to Ronald Reagan. He examines the role religion has played in many of the major events in our nation's history such as the Declaration of Independence, the Civil War and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s call for civil rights. Meacham's latest book looks at how our founding fathers' views on faith have shaped religion's place in American public life.
