Book
A great disorder : national myth and the battle for America / Richard Slotkin.
"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." -- Provided by publisher
