ABOUT THE BOOK

One of the most marvelous things in life is to encounter someone so enthusiastic that you can feel it from a distance. Watching David McCullough on Charlie Rose reminded me how much there is to learn about the world, and how interesting and exciting that process can be.

Mr. McCullough was on the Charlie Rose show to talk about his new book, The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris. Charlie Rose is excellent at bringing out the best in someone like McCullough, a man eager to learn and share what he has learned. And that is the context of the discussion: not only what the book is about, but why he wrote it, and why the topic is important.

For McCullough, discovering the past is a lifelong journey.

What he tells us is that the past is the context for the future. That the very best decisions are to be made by those whose judgements are informed by knowing where we’ve been. We are shaped by the past - that’s source of our perspective. Leaving it unexplored is to be ignorant of an important resource.
