"No other national story," Paul Johnson writes, "holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind." This work is not just another history of the United States. It is a reinterpretation, from start to finish, of every aspect of American history, of its politics and economics, of its art and literature and science, of its society and manners and, not least, of its complex and all-pervading religious beliefs.
