American Sketches: Great Leaders, Creative Thinkers, and Heroes of a Hurricane by Walter Isaacson is a collection of short essays profiling influential Americans and moments of civic courage. Ranging from figures such as Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein to contemporary individuals who emerged during the crisis of Hurricane Katrina, the essays emphasize character and moral choice as much as achievement. Moving between historical reflection and contemporary reportage, Isaacson shows how innovation and ethical decision-making arise both in positions of power and in moments of crisis.
