Epic Author. History of the Jews, Modern Times. HIS HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE USED AS A TEXTBOOK IN SCHOOLS.

My inspiration. After I read “Modern Times,” I decided I could—I HAD TO-—write such a history of the United States.

Paul Johnson in many ways was the inspiration for “A Patriot’s History of the United States,” and certainly was the model for my subsequent book, “A Patriot’s History of the Modern World.”

His ability to capture a man’s character in just 2-3 lines was unmatched anywhere.
