This is a Borzoi book.--T.p. verso.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [243]-285) and index.
In the most important book on the Declaration of Independence in 75 years, Maier reveals the document as both the defining statement of our national identity and the moral compass by which we live as a nation. She also shows how, by the very act of venerating the Declaration, we may also be betraying its purpose and power. www.alibris.com
