The Greatest Sentence Ever Written is a short book by Walter Isaacson that analyzes the second line of the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". Published in November 2025, the book explores the sentence's origins, its revolutionary ideas, and its enduring significance as the foundation of the American mission statement, explaining how it should shape politics today.
