| book description |

During his campaign for the presidency, one of Donald Trumpâ€™s signature promises was that hewould build a â€œgreat great wallâ€ on the border between the US and Mexico, and Mexico wasgoing to pay for it. A year and a half into his term, with only a few prototype segments erected, thewall is the 2,000-mile, multibillion-dollar elephant in the room of contemporary American life. InÂ The Great Great Wall,Â architectural historian and critic Ian Volner takes a deep dive into thestory of Trumpâ€™s wall. Volner follows the conception, selling, design, and construction (or lack thereof)of this expensive and consequential barrier, giving readers a detailed look at whatâ€™s happening inWashington, DC, and along the border. He also travels far afield, to China, the Middle East, NorthernEngland, and back to our border to examine the barriers weâ€™ve been building for centuries. Why dowe build walls? What do they reveal about human history?Â TheÂ Great Great WallÂ is an absorbing, smart, and timely book on anincredibly contentious and newsworthy topic.
