Exploring the tendency of Americans to embrace extremes, this collection of eight essays delves into various facets of life, including arts, politics, and social movements. Robert Schmuhl draws on historical instances, such as buffalo hunting and Prohibition, while focusing on modern issues like sensationalism in entertainment, societal tensions, the erosion of privacy, and the media's excessive coverage of high-profile scandals like those involving O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton.
