Fault Lines

A broad rather than deep work of contemporary American history, but extraordinarily good at connecting the dots on the political, social, media, and economic forces that have shaped the country during my adult years. It was gifted at showing how these cultural trends produced ever-widening divisions in our society, concluding with Trumpism. All the important newspaper articles I read at every coffee house since high school, sewn together with a sense of progression and history. Would especially recommend it to younger people.
