Americaās getting old. Itās soon to celebrate its 250th birthday. Itās getting harder and harder for its citizens to find anything to agree on, even the nationās history. But itās still possible to get out there and see the American past for yourself. And itās a lot more interesting ā and colourful ā than any tired story of manifest destiny youāve heard.
Ride along with award-winning historian Beverly Gage on an epic road trip, a drive through US history in thirteen places: dropping by museums, a nuclear silo and a sex commune on the way. From the Battle of Alamo to Richard Nixon in Disneyland, Gage dives into Americaās messy contradictions and discovers a country we still can love.
