Tähtilipun maan kiehtova mysteeri.Yhdysvallat on meille jatkuvasti läsnä – uutisissa, politiikassa ja populaarikulttuurissa. Silti maan todellinen luonne pysyy arvoituksena. Miten sama kansakunta voi äänestää presidentikseen sekä Barack Obaman että Donald Trumpin? Mikä saa lännen seksityöläiset ja etelän kristilliskonservatiivit tukemaan samoja poliitikkoja?Tunnetun asiantuntijan oivaltava teos avaa Yhdysvaltojen nykyhetkeä sen pitkän ja ristiriitaisen historian kautta. Vallankumouksen, siirtokuntien ja sisällissodan aikaiset jakolinjat elävät yhä ja heijastuvat koko maailmaan.Vetävästi kirjoitettu teos osoittaa, miksi Amerikan ymmärtäminen on tärkeämpää kuin koskaan.
