In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. The American experiment rests on three ideas - "these truths", Jefferson called them - political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people. And it rests, too, "[O]n a dedication to inquiry, fearless and unflinching", writes Jill Lepore in a groundbreaking investigation into the American past that places truth itself at the center of the nation's history.
In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them.
"A nation born in contradiction, liberty in a land of slavery, sovereignty in a land of conquest, will fight, forever, over the meaning of its history", Lepore writes, finding meaning in those very contradictions as she weaves American history into a majestic tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of technological progress and moral anguish.
A spellbinding chronicle filled with arresting sketches of Americans from John Winthrop and Frederick Douglass to Pauli Murray and Phyllis Schlafly, These Truths offers an authoritative new history of a great, and greatly troubled, nation.

The reading was very annoying to me. I understand that the author wants to make listening easier by variations in speed, pitch and volume, but especially the last one is annoying. Some sections are hardly whispered, one has to turn the volume up to hear anything and then the author proceeds to nearly scream .... one contantly has to adjust the volume.
Well written book but annoying recording

Unfortunately the author is not not a good reader. She reads too fast and tends to mumble.
It would have done the audiobook well to be read by a professional reader. The author should have concentrated on reading the introduction and the epilogue.
Great book, weak reader
