These Truths: A History of the United States
Description
Spanning more than five centuries, this uniquely American history asks a provocative question: have the nation’s “truths” held up—or have events revealed their contradictions? Tracing the story from the earliest encounters in 1492 through the upheavals of slavery, the long struggle for equality, and the shifting realities of American politics, it examines how power, identity, and opportunity have been contested over time. With a focus on the persistence of inequality and the impact of technological change, the book invites readers to see the United States not as a finished myth, but as an evolving argument. Written in a sharp, narrative-driven style that blends historical insight with contemporary relevance, it offers a compelling lens on what America has promised—and what it has repeatedly failed to deliver.
