Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 1993.

From the age of Eisenhower to the dawning of the Clinton era, Gore Vidal's United States offers an incomparably rich tapestry of American intellectual and political life in a tumultuous period. It also provides the best, most sustained exposure possible to the most wide-ranging, acute, and original literary intelligence of the post-World War II years. United States is an essential book in the canon of twentieth-century American literature and an endlessly fascinating work.
