These Truths, Jill Lepore

Lepore– who else?–brings together the promises, and the betrayals, of our nation, in a single compulsively readable volume. She is a master teacher– learned, curious– who understands exactly what is at stake. She loves America, but also names the beam in its eye. One quibble: medicine may be a mote in the nation’s political history, but in its material history, illness and medicine deserve more scrutiny.
