Reseña del libro "American Treasures: The Secret Efforts to Save the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address (en Inglés)"
A Boston Globe BestsellerOn December 26, 1941, Secret Service agent Harry E. Neal stood on a platform at Washingtons Union Station watching a train chug off into the dark and feeling at once relieved and inexorably anxious. These were dire times. With Hitlers armies plowing across Europeseizing or destroying historic artifacts at willand Japans devastating attack on Pearl Harbor just three weeks prior, American officials now feared an enemy attack on Washington, D.C.So, President Franklin D. Roosevelt set about hiding the countrys valuables. On the train speeding away from Neal sat four plain-wrapped cases containing the documentary history of Americaincluding the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Addressguarded by a battery of agents and bound for safekeeping in the nations most impenetrable hiding place.American Treasures charts the creation and little-known journeys of these priceless documents. From the risky and audacious adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to our modern Fourth of July celebrations, American Treasures shows how the ideas captured in these papers underscore the nations strengths and hopes, and embody its fundamental values of liberty and equality. Stephen Puleo weaves exciting stories of freedom under firefrom the smuggling of these documents out of Washington days before the British burned the capital in 1814, to their covert relocation during World War IIcrafting a sweeping history of a nation united to preserve its democracy and the values inherent in its founding documents.
