Riassunto

America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, imposes few restraints upon its citizens. From the Founding Fathers and the Constitution onwards, the individual and his freedom have come first in the nation's priorities. This remarkable and innovative history of twentieth-century America follows the trajectories of some of those who have made it the extraordinary nation it is today
