This spellbinding chronicle offers an authoritative new history of a great, and greatly troubled, nation. These Truths (2018) by historian Jill Leporeis a one-volume chronicle of American history that attempts to tell the United States’ story from beginning to end, something that, as the author notes in the introduction, has not been attempted in a long time. Finding meaning in contradiction, Lepore weaves American history into a tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of technological progress and moral anguish. Telling the story of America, beginning in 1492, These Truths asks whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them. And it rests, too, "on a dedication to inquiry, fearless and unflinching", writes Jill Lepore in a ground-breaking investigation into the American past that places truth at the centre of the nation's history. The American experiment rests on three ideas-"these truths", Jefferson called them-political equality, natural rights and the sovereignty of the people.
In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation.
