Description

This ambitious one-volume American history offers a magisterial account of the nation's origins and rise, tracing the intertwined histories of politics, law, journalism, and technology from colonial times to the present day.

Written in elegant prose, Jill Lepore places truth at the center of America's history, exploring whether the nation has delivered on its founding ideals of political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people. The book asks whether the course of events over more than five centuries has proven or belied these truths.

From colonial town meetings to twenty-first-century Internet polls, Lepore examines how America's experiment in self-government has evolved, and what this reveals about the nation's commitment to inquiry and its democratic ideals.
