The American Experiment : Essays on the Theory and Practice of Liberty
It's a textbook and honestly, the depth/detail and this book goes into combined with the numerous centuries it covers makes this volume a bit staggering. The story of America is apparently not for the faint of heart. Reading this book is arduous. Saying that, as a result of the many editions this book has been through it's chapters are very refined. The scholarship is top. Highly recommend. This is a dark tale, tread lightly.
