Summary:
"The capstone book in a trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Lead and The American Story and host of Bloomberg TV’s The David Rubenstein Show -- American icons and historians on the ever-evolving American experiment, featuring Ken Burns, Madeleine Albright, Wynton Marsalis, Billie Jean King, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and many more. In this lively collection of conversations -- the third in a series from David Rubenstein -- some of our nations’ greatest minds explore the inspiring story of America as a grand experiment in democracy, culture, innovation, and ideas. - Jill Lepore on the promise of America - Madeleine Albright on the American immigrant - Ken Burns on war - Henry Louis Gates Jr. on reconstruction - Elaine Weiss on suffrage - John Meacham on civil rights - Walter Isaacson on innovation - David McCullough on the Wright Brothers - John Barry on pandemics and public health - Wynton Marsalis on music - Billie Jean King on sports - Rita Moreno on film. Exploring the diverse make-up of our country’s DNA through interviews with Pulitzer Prize–winning historians, diplomats, music legends, and sports giants, The American Experiment captures the dynamic arc of a young country reinventing itself in real-time. Through these enlightening conversations, the American spirit comes alive, revealing the setbacks, suffering, invention, ingenuity, and social movements that continue to shape our vision of what America is -- and what it can be."--Publisher.
