Reviews"Boorstins achievement is to compel us to see again, ranged in order, the whole mass of attitudes and mechanisms that arise from American difference, and to display his material so abundantly and ingeniously that we see aspects of the nations' past as if for the first time." --Marcus Cunliffe, Book Week "This is the history of a nation 'beginning again and again, under men's very eyes. I can only repeat that this is a fine book--controversial certainly, but a courageous, learned and most exciting work." --George Dangerfield, The New York Times Book Review "This exceptionally good book . . . abounds in concrete, entertaining details, and in bright, original ideas about those fascinating people, us." -- The New Yorker, "Boorstins achievement is to compel us to see again, ranged in order, the whole mass of attitudes and mechanisms that arise from American difference, and to display his material so abundantly and ingeniously that we see aspects of the nations' past as if for the first time." -- Marcus Cunliffe, Book Week "This is the history of a nation 'beginning again and again, under men's very eyes.

A very educational read - formation of the US character
This is a very readable history of the early US and describes and analyzes how and why the American mind-set diverged so much from European, particularly British. On the negative side for this reader: too much detail, long winded, about slavery. Otherwise, the book provides a good history of the westward expansion of the early US and how the pioneering spirit imprinted a definitive character onto the American psyche.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
