ABOUT THE BOOK

The Declaration of Independence: Explore the Conflict, Courage, Vision, and Legacy of America’s Independence brings history to life with vivid storytelling, engaging analysis, and powerful reflections on liberty, justice, and civic responsibility. Historian Bill Wiemuth weaves the gripping story of how this iconic document came to be—and why it still matters today. As we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence, there’s never been a better time to revisit the founding ideals of the United States. This book offers both timeless insights and timely inspiration.
