Reading this during my first semester as a Political Science Ph.D. student turned out to be pretty fortuitous. My interests, both academic and casual, had led to me being somewhat familiar with a lot of the people and concepts in this book; Menand does a masterful job of stitching together a philosophical history of the United States from roughly the Civil War through the turn of the century. Fairly regularly did I find myself discovering new facts or relationships, and my understanding of the cultivation of characteristically American ideas is now considerably deeper.
