About This Item
New York: Random House, 2017. 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 462 pages. From jacket: "In this sweeping, eloquent history of America, one of our sharpest observers, Kurt Andersen, demonstrates that what's happening in our country today - this strange, post-truth, "fake-news" moment we're all living through - is not something entirely new, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character and path. America was founded by wishful dreamers, magical thinkers, and true believers, by impresarios and their audiences, by hucksters and their suckers... (This book) could not appear at a more perfect moment. If you want to understand the politics and culture of 21st century America, if you want to know how the lines between reality and illusion have become dangerously blurred, you must read this book." Edgewear, bumped heel of spine and creased jacket spine. Mark in the margin of page 75. Two small light, spots on bottom of book and light soil to outside pages.
