RaveLibrary JournalProviding historical context for national events, Lepore...delivers a sweeping, balanced, and finely wrought narrative history of the United States. The vaulting ambition of the book is matched by the elegance and dry wit of Lepore\'s writing and careful rigor of her scholarship. She expertly marshals incidents, statistics, and analysis, resulting in a chronicle at once panoramic and richly detailed—like a giant medieval tapestry ... This thought-provoking and fascinating book stands to become the definitive one-volume U.S. history for a new generation.
