This book chronicles the growing political divide in the United States over the course of several years. It is well-researched, and filled with interviews of people from all walks of life. I feel like I better understand how the US has gotten to where it is now.

Author Evan Osnos has earned a reputation as a keen observer of American politics, economics and culture for over two decades, along with reporting from China and the Middle East. Wildland: The Making of America's Fury is a study of the period of American history bookended by the twin terrorist attacks of September 11th and January 6th and the alarming downward spiral that's taken place. He interviews and observes three locations, Greenwich, Connecticut; Clarksburg, West Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois, gaining perspectives from three very different socio-economic groups. It's thought-provoking and worth the read.

I received this Advance Reader Copy of Wildland: The Making of America's Fury from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
