Description

Quote from the back cover: "This is an important book - the indispensable book - for understanding America in the age of Trump. It's an eye-opening history filled with brilliant insights, a saga of how we were always susceptible to fantasy, from the Puritan fanatics to the talk-radio and Internet wackos who mix show business, hucksterism, and conspiracy theories. Even the parts you think you know already are put into an eye-opening context." - Walter Isaacson Book - Fine condition. Clean and tight. Very, very minimal wear. Looks like new. Dust Jacket - Fine condition. Very minimal wear. Please use photos as part of the description. 462 pages including Index.
