This groundbreaking book from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald is the first to tell the powerful, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America - from the Puritan era to the 2016 presidential election.

Frances FitzGerald's narrative of this distinctively American movement is a major work of history, piecing together the centuries-long story for the first time.

Als John T. Unger auf die teuerste und exklusivste Jungenschule des Landes geschickt wird, sind seine Eltern stolz und er selbst begeistert. Bedeutet es doch herauszukommen aus Hades - "Ja, es ist heiß da unten" -, einer Kleinstadt am Mississippi, die als nichts als provinziell gelten kann. An der St. Midas School ist alles nach Johns Geschmack: Umgeben von chic gekleideten, mit guten Umgangsformen ausgestatteten reichen Jungen - "Je reicher einer ist, desto mehr mag ich ihn" -, wird er schließlich von dem etwas unnahbaren Percy über die Sommerferien zu sich nach Hause eingeladen. Die Welt, die sich ihm dort auftut, übertrifft alle seine Erwartungen. Zimmer ganz aus Ebenholz und Gold, saphirner Haarschmuck, Teller aus hauchdünnen Diamanten. Eine unentdeckte Welt inmitten von Montana. Ein Paradies oder ein Gefängnis?
