Omschrijving
Picked as a Bill Clinton Book of 2019
'Lepore is that rare combination in modern life of intellect, originality and style' Amanda Foreman
'A thoughtful and passionate defence of her vision of American patriotism' New York Times
Praise for Jill Lepore:
This vivid history brings alive the contradictions and hypocrisies of the land of the free
A history for the 21st century, far more inclusive than the standard histories of the past
Monumental ... a crucial work for presenting a fresh and clear-sighted narrative of the entire story ... exciting and page-turningly fascinating, in one of those rare history books that can be read with pleasure for its sheer narrative energy
Jill Lepore is that rare combination in modern life of intellect, originality and style
