Liberty's Surest Guardian: American Nation-building from the Founders to Obama (Free Press/Simon & Schuster, Fall 2011)
Americans are a nation-building people, and in Liberty’s Surest Guardian, Jeremi Suri looks to America’s history to see both what it has to offer to failed states around the world and what it should avoid.

Professor Suri,
I recently read “Liberty’s Guardian” and enjoyed it very much. I was unable to enter a review with some questions and other comments on the book’s web site, however (I tried twice). Perhaps there is a time lag involved, but I would enjoy hearing your response to some of the points I raised regarding present day nation-building.
Best of luck in Austin,
Bruce
Hi, Jeremi, You have been on my mind and Colette and I speak of you often.
She is now 15 and such a lovely young woman.
I am now 78!
I hope your move from Madison was an easy one. I would imagine that the decision would have been hard, given your love for and your involvement with the university.
Would love to hear from you and learn about your new life.
You are closer to me now, and I just might pop over to sit in on one of your lectures.
Took a terrific on line class called LEGENDARY PERFORMERS with Mike Lechrone. You and he are two of my favorite educators.
Are Natalie and Zach adjusting well to their new environment?
My love to all the family.
What happens if Wisconsin plays Texas? Or are they not in the same league?
No trips to NYC lately. Broke my right arm last year…so I travel less and take life easier.
Dear Barbara,
Thanks for your kind words. We love Austin and the kids are adjusting very well. We do miss our friends from Madison. So far, we are rooting for both the Longhorns and the Badgers. Above all, we support the Packers. Go Pack!!
I hope to see you soon. Please come and visit us in Austin. Stay well and please send our warm regards to Colette and your entire family.
Yours,
Jeremi
Thank you, Joshua. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Good luck in your endeavors.
Professor Suri,
Keep up the good work giving fined-grained sociopolitical analyses in historical contexts on your blog. I find it informative and critical news reading apart BBC News, NBC Nightly News, etc. in my web browser bookmarks.
Sincerely,
Joshua
