Award-winning historian and New Yorker
writer Jill Lepore has undertaken a
mammoth task in this sweeping one-volume
history of the United States, which opens in
1492 and ranges over five centuries, all the
way up to Trump’s election. The book’s title
refers to the three political ideals outlined
by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 (i.e. equality,
natural rights and popular sovereignty), and
in its pages Lepore investigates how these
original tenets have evolved since their
inception. By taking a step back to examine
the big picture, Lepore draws surprising
connections between key moments and
figures over the years, and offers timely
new revelations about the so-called ‘land
of the free’.
