The American experiment rests on three ideas-"these truths",
Jefferson called them-political equality, natural rights and the
sovereignty of the people. And it rests, too, "on a dedication to
inquiry, fearless and unflinching", writes Jill Lepore in a
ground-breaking investigation into the American past that places
truth at the centre of the nation's history. Telling the story of
America, beginning in 1492, These Truths asks whether the course of
events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them.
Finding meaning in contradiction, Lepore weaves American history
into a tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of
technological progress and moral anguish. This spellbinding
chronicle offers an authoritative new history of a great, and
greatly troubled, nation.
