The culture wars are pitting us against each other with a vitriol that is fueling outright violence. Slotkin looks to the foundational myths that have shaped American identity--the Frontier, the Founding, the Civil War (Emancipation and the Lost Cause), and the Good War--and reveals why they are bringing the US to the brink of an existential crisis.

Richar Slotkin is the Olin Professor of American Studies at Wesleyan University. He is the author of Gunfighter Nation and Regeneration Through Violence, both National Book Award Finalists, and The Crater.
