These Truths: A History of the United States by Jill Lepore

Jill Lepore is both a historian and modern-day political journalist in These Truths. She identifies the Constitutional framers’ standards of “political equality,” “natural rights,” and “sovereignty of the people,” then she investigates how these ideas measure up before Washington crossed the Delaware, over the Mason/Dixon line, and into the Trump White House. Lepore offers us more than U.S. history; she explores America’s ever-evolving political landscape while questioning our Constitution.
