The Pledge of Allegiance has been recited throughout most schools in the nation yet do we really understand what it means? Fata's book sheds light on the pledge's development since it was written as a simple Columbus Day commemoration in 1892. Its inspiring words have also been controversial and the subject of several Supreme Court cases. In addition to describing the pledge's history, the book explains how the pledge continues to play a part in shaping America.
