by Kurt Andersen
4 stars
Andersen has written a sarcastic, realistic and ambitious history of the United States starting with the Puritans. His focus on the traits that make America so American, the magical thinking, the delusions of grandeur and the innate confidence in our own rightness helps with understanding how we have come to the point that we are now. This took a really long time to read but I enjoyed the different spin on the history of the U.S. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
