rho reviewed Inventing a Nation by Gore Vidal
Fast, entertaining, and thought provoking.
4 stars
If you read this as a history you will be disappointed. It covers some historical events, yes, but I believe this is better read as a commentary or reflection. Gore Vidal paints a very humanizing picture of the founding fathers of the US and highlights some parallels to a modern political (and judicial) reality.
