No Apologies
Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men
A generation of young men and boys are being raised in self-loathing, taught that the core of their identity as men is not only abhorrent, but is responsible for most, if not all, of humanity's ills.
In No Apologies, veteran author and professor, Anthony Esolen, issues a powerful defense of the virtues of masculine strength. From the thankless brute force of the nameless men who erected buildings, paved roads, and cleared the ground upon which human society stands, to the boundless energy of youth that compelled centuries of global exploration, to the father's embodied authority as protector, director, and exemplar of law and justice, Esolen shows how civilization has rested upon the strength of men.
With his customary wisdom and wit, Esolen draws on two millennia of historical thought, introducing his readers to giants such as Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, Solzhenitsyn, and even Mark Twain to present a vigorous and timely defense of the masculine ethos.
I really enjoyed listening to this book, so much so that I bought a hard copy for my son-in-law and daughter. They have three young boys. My Son-in-law just wrote me and said how much he enjoyed the book but came across a statement that claimed a man’s heart was 50% larger than a women’s heart. He couldn’t find anything that validated that statement and wonders why it wasn't caught by the editors. It made him question other statements made in the book. Can you comment on this?
I can't recommend this book enough. I read large portions of this book out loud to my wife, who appreciated each one.
