The Greatest Sentence Ever Written by Walter Isaacson

Biographer Walter Isaacson reveals the origins of the most revolutionary line in the Declaration of Independence, the one that defines our rights as Americans-and how this greatest sentence ever written should shape our politics today.

To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Walter Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of history’s most powerful sentences: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
