''A stunning mosaic of contemporary America'' Fintan O''Toole

''Essential reading, with quick insights and bomblets of surprise'' TLS

A panoptical vision of modern America, from the brilliant mind of Jill Lepore.

The 2010s marked a shift in America''s trajectory, beginning with the run-up to Donald Trump''s election, through to the chaos and confusion left in its wake. With the wit and verve that has made her the acclaimed national historian of a generation, Jill Lepore reflects on the consuming fissures of this era: culture wars and media corrosion; disruptive innovation and techno-utopianism; constitutional crises surrounding gun rights and a reckoning with a deep history of racial violence.

These essays make sense of American life in a moment of polarization, capturing the tumultuous relationship between the country''s violent past and fractured present.

Praise for Jill Lepore:
