In "Fortress America," award-winning historian Elaine Tyler May explores how the pervasive fear among Americans regarding safety has undermined the nation's democracy. Despite plummeting crime rates, the obsession with security has led to a culture of distrust towards one another and government institutions. This compelling social history reveals how these anxieties have fostered a militarized and divided society, ultimately compromising the very ideals of a thriving democracy.
