Give Me Liberty! An American History by Eric Foner

Freedom, the oldest of cliches and the most modern of aspirations, is the unifying theme in the new survey of American history by Eric Foner, the well-known historian and author of The Story of American Freedom. As the fundamental idea behind Americans' sense of themselves as individuals and as a nation, freedom is deeply embedded in the record of our history and the language of everyday life. Give Me Liberty! examines the changing meanings of freedom, the social conditions that make freedom possible, and its shifting boundaries from colonial times to the early twenty-first century.

Eric Foner is the author of several books and the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University. At Columbia University, he received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2006. He has led the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, and the Society of American Historians. He currently resides in New York City.
