It was inspired by the author's surroundings while living near artifacts from the American Revolution, focusing on the concept of self-governance and the history of impeachment in the United States.
I'm great. Pleasure to be here.
Well, most of my books are 20 letters or they're short books.
We bought a house in Concord and while I've studied the Constitution for a long time, hadn't really thought about the American Revolution and I'm kind of surrounded by artifacts of the revolution and that made me think, well, what was impeachment about?
If you read the Declaration of Independence, it's completely like articles of impeachment and if you look at the history in the 18th century, it's two ideas are on fire in our little country, one is self-government and the other is the equal dignity of human beings and I think we've missed that slice, the slice between Paul Revere's ride and when the Constitution got ratified and kind of the best window onto it is impeachment.
I think it gives you really a sense of what American exceptionalism is and that's what got me into impeachment.
