Masur's book is both sweeping and concise, offering an immersion in American history, from the pre-colonial era to the current moment, and covering all of the main themes and defining events. At its core the book is guided by those whose vision of America's potential has been fulfilled, as well as by those whose dreams remained unrealized but still essential to the country's identity.
