Summary: This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, I speak with historian Jill Lepore, author of, These Truths: A History of the United States. Lepore is one of the nation’s most prolific and widely read historians. Over the past 20 years she’s written books on everything from King Philip’s War in the 1670s to the history of Wonder Woman. This latest work, a sweeping, 900-page one volume history of the United States, has garnered widespread praise and a spot on the NY Times bestseller list.
