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 the Lost Cause), and the Good War--and reveals why they are bringing the US to the brink of an existential crisis.
