Description
The history of the American nation as presented by Johnson is all the more dramatic as the English historian attempts to capture the struggle for the character and meaning of American culture. Unlike today's revisionists, who claim that the United States is merely a patchwork of racial and ethnic groups without a commonly shared culture, or those who argue that Americans are merely a political nation, the author is convinced of the specific significance of religious and cultural Anglo-American traits that have developed from the arrival of the first settlers to the present day. Johnson's book caused a sensation in the world not only because it does not take political correctness into account and fights against various left-liberal myths, but also due to the author's uncompromising sense of facts and extraordinarily dramatic diction. Reviewers generally agree that no American could write it so openly and straightforwardly.
