Ryan’s second book, “A Country Divided: The Greatness and Decline of the American Republic,” takes readers through the ideological and political divide in America. By delving into the history of our political foundations, Ryan explores how partisan politics have shaped issues such as civil rights, immigration, and foreign policy. He also examines how individual decisions have shaped the direction of our government, from Richard Nixon’s decisions to Reagan’s reign.
