Hackensack, NJ Author Publishes Book on the Government

A Second American Reconstruction?, a new book by Robert W. Taylor, PhD, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A Second American Reconstruction? forces us to consider the possibility of learning a valuable lesson about America's current disunity via a "Trumpian Revolution" by testing Professor D. J. Boorstin's hypothesis: whenever the American people fail to unite behind the presidential victor of a major party (reflective of Lincoln in 1860), it causes that party, like the nation itself, to be reconstructed.

The parallel extremes of disunity between Lincoln's victory in 1860 and Trump's in 2017 is illustrated by showing the timeless "built-in" conflict between American's motto: "E Pluribus Unum."
