memorial patrick henry shot lasers from his eyes and vaporized the bureaucrats. it's holy peace congress and free expression are at the very heart of the american spirit and yet it seems everywhere these things are being stifled when individuals are put into chains of licensing ordinances and taxes for the most simple things that make us american we will cease to be so our politics is local at least personally so let's start there when you when you run into these kinds of unconstitutional city ordinances stand up i will size them because if we value liberty will guard it well enough for ourselves. when we come back we'll have this one sided who can with take deliver oh and of course you the viewer you're watching adam vs the man stating. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions create through it through the pretty maid who can you trust no one who is you know maybe a little bit with the global machinery see where we had a state controlled capitalism is called. when nobody dares to ask we give our tea question more. into it

patrick henry and george w. bush. we do have the coverage and terms of what has happened. the other thing is we did want to have things that only that were clear, but things that were a little less well-known. the alamo speeches in there. so we tried to do a little bit of everything to make it interesting. [applause] [applause] >> for more information visit the office website. >> we ask, what are you reading this summer? here is what you had to say. send us that tweet at book tv using hash tag summer reading to let us know what you plan on reading. you can also e-mail last book tv at c-span.org. and now world war one as it was experienced by the british. this is about an hour and 15 minutes. >> so, it is a pleasure to be here. also to be talking to an audience on c-span three these cameras here. i am going to tell you a little bit about this new book of mine and do so showing you some pictures. this is not music on this music stand, but just some notes for me. i think that writing a book is very often a matter of following an obsession. figuring out just why you are obsess

even when we looked at the book itself, to look at patrick henry who's the first entry, i think it's interesting that not only is there no written transcript of that speech, but literally what there is is someone else with a recollection of being at the speech. and that's all the record there is. and that's where we get the phrase, give me liberty or give me death. but i think a variety of ways. i think it's fun. also i know that i, and a couple of them -- especially the documents, the northwest ordinance which is pretty long and not very exciting -- is to skim it and look for the parts that are interesting to you at that particular time. introductions are always about 700,000 words, so they're pretty easy to get to -- 700-1,000 words. this book really is, you can pick it up, you can read one, you can read two, you can read the rest later, so it's really easy to use. >> i have a question. how did you go about picking the 25 documents and speeches that you did? is. >> that's a great question because we do have 25. the original goal was 21. i failed, right? [laughter] we have 25. and i

i think in terms of the soul of our country patrick henry one of the one of the founders of this country. which is. the early colonialists came to this country fleeing religious persecution the rack to screw with the star chamber and if the united states was out as a government to use those techniques even in the name of national security that we are quote lost and i think a lot of people who live in the united states don't think of this country as being one that supports torture going home of a that was of course run by the u.s. and also the school of the americas called by some the school of the assassins to what extent do you think people are actually conscious of the fact that this goes on here that there are some definite hypocrisy here. well i think a lot of people are not conscious of that because our government is very careful to do that outside our boundaries and much less. certainly minorities can tell you the top and all was out but what i'd like to add the discussion here is the fact that we not only torture in the cia manuals and in the americas but we also have many people
