520 _a"The culture wars are pitting us against each other with a vitriol that is fueling outright violence. Slotkin looks to the foundational myths that have shaped American identity-the Frontier, the Founding, the Civil War (Emancipation and Lost Cause), and Good War-and reveals how and why they are bringing the United States to the brink of an existential crisis."--
