Brenda Wineapple appeared on The Book Review to discuss the beginning of a new trilogy about the American Revolution, reflecting on her writing process and previous historical works. Brenda Wineapple explained that working on her last book, Ecstatic nation, was actually what prompted her current book, noting that the new project came really out of her prior research. In the broader conversation about political courage and historical writing, Brenda Wineapple also discussed John F. Kennedy's book Profiles in courage, published in 1957, and examined its reception during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Through these reflections, Brenda Wineapple offered listeners insight into how historical writing evolves over time, showing the direct thematic connections between her own successive studies of American history and discussing how earlier political literature captured the complex spirit of past eras.
