The End of the Myth
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTIONFrom a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a new and eye-opening interpretation of the meaning of the frontier, from early westward expansion to Trump's border wall.Ever since this nation's inception, the idea of an open and ever-expanding frontier has been central to American identity. Today, though, America has a new symbol: the border wall.In The End of the Myth, acclaimed historian Greg Grandin explores the meaning of the frontier throughout the full sweep of U.S. Symbolizing a future of endless promise, it was the foundation of the United States' belief in itself as an exceptional nation--democratic, individualistic, forward-looking.
For centuries, he shows, America's history--from the American Revolution to the War of 1898, the New Deal to the election of 2016.
