More about the book

David H. Murdoch explores the concept that contemporary American beliefs about the West are not rooted in historical accuracy but rather represent a modern functional myth. He examines how these myths shape perceptions and narratives surrounding the West, highlighting the disconnect between popular beliefs and historical realities. Through this analysis, the book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of the West and its significance in American culture.
