""The American Heritage of Freedom: A Plan of God"" by Ezra Taft Benson is a book that explores the history of America and its founding principles. Benson argues that the United States was established as a nation under God, and that its founding documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, reflect this belief. He also examines the role of religion in American society and the importance of individual freedom. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the founding of America, the role of the family, the importance of education, and the need for moral leadership. Benson draws on his experience as a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and as a former Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower to provide insights into the principles that have made America great. Overall, ""The American Heritage of Freedom"" is a thoughtful and inspiring exploration of the values that have shaped America and the role that faith has played in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A brief biographical introduction gives Ezra Benson's background, first as a Mormon missionary and clergyman before he entered the political arena as Secretary of Agriculture. He is a man of faith, particularly in the individual farmer, that left to his own natural ability he will prosper. He is opposed to too much government aid to farmers and cites agricultural scripture to prove his point. This is definitely a step by step study of his arguments, supported by facts and figures, and he makes out a convincing case. The book - while it comes shortly before election- is not a campaign document. It is a courageous presentation of the program of the Department of Agriculture, in very personal terms of the beliefs of its Secretary. Put into the hands of campaign workers, even for so brief a period, it will supply answers to some of the arguments that the opposition will present. (Kirkus Reviews)
