Paul Harvey's America: The Life, Art, and Faith of a Man Who Transformed Radio and Inspired a Nation

This was an enlightening book which I found truly enjoyable to read and the author's storytelling ability should be commended. I wish this book would be required reading for all journalism students and all professional journalists -- especially those working in the mainstream media and especially those working in New York or D.C.It was refreshing to learn that there was actually a journalist who was right-of-center and who could also connect with Americans of all political stripes. From my own listening to Paul Harvey in the 70s and 80s I knew he was a staunch patriot. What I didn't realize is that he started sounding the alarm bells in the 40s and 50s about the dangers of Marxism, socialism, and communism.If you elect to purchase this book I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I miss Paul Harvey and this book brings back all the great memories I had of him as I grew up. A great American who is not ashamed of the United States, it's founding and the moral values which made this land a beacon on a hill for the world.

Paul Harvey (Aurandt) was America's greatest radio broadcaster of all time, but will too quickly be forgotten in a culture that has left radio behind. Books and recordings help preserve that memory. Unlike the more biographical "Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story", this book is a collection of episodes from his life, commentaries and historical events that give a good picture of the man himself. A must-read for fellow Paul Harvey afficionados.

It is hard to replicate the Paul Harvey voice in a book form.Very interesting history of this icon!

I saw this book and author originally on Fox News. Since I've admired Paul Harvey's work for many, many years, but knew little about him, I decided to purchase the book for my Kindle. It was a very good read and flowed very nicely. The author has done a great job in capturing Paul Harvey's life ... I became completely addicted to the book and to learning more about the voice that I had grown up with. He is a true American story and I wish his voice and news/comment to live on forever. God bless he and Angel (and Little Paul) for what they've given our world. You won't be sorry with this one.

Very interesting reading about a radio personality that I enjoyed listening to.

great insight on a great man's life

Good boo about a good man.!

The book is well-written and captures Harvey's interesting life. At times the author seems willing to bend over backwards to justify a few of Harvey's somewhat questionable comments or actions. But overall the book is a fine tribute to a remarkable man who left a positive impact on his country.
