In this Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Greg Grandin examines the frontier myth throughout three centuries of American history, from colonial expansion to President Trump's border wall.

The American frontier has long been synonymous with the nation's identity, symbolizing a land full of freedom and promise.

Yet, along with the death of the 'American dream,' President Trump's wall along the Mexico border has come to represent the end of the American frontier.

In this book, acclaimed historian and Yale professor Greg Grandin charts the intellectual history of the frontier myth from the early eighteenth century to contemporary America.

Taking a critically honest look at America, The End of the Myth asks whether a country can outlive its own foundational narrative.
