Ahead of July 4, these five books offer fresh perspectives on the ideas, conflicts, and debates that shaped—and continue to shape—America.
Which one are you adding to your TBR?

Your summer mission isn’t complete until you’ve seen the latest @MissionFilm, starring @TomCruise, and learned about the history of American espionage with one of these #NEHgrant-funded books by @MToddBennett, @Matt_A_Sutton or @USCDornsife Professor Steven J. Ross.

#SCOTUS has reversed a half-century of precedent on citizens’ rights to know what their government is doing, by making it more difficult to access private business records in USG hands.
@kendylsalcito explains the case and the consequences.
