All About U.S.
Theo Deutinger brings his graphic lens to 250 years of American history in this bold examination of the United States and its relationship with Europe and the wider world. Translating a vast array of data into striking visual analyses, Deutinger explores the myths, achievements and failures at the heart of the American story, placing contemporary realities in their historical – often transatlantic – context.

Through maps, illustrations and information design, Deutinger highlights the patterns and contradictions of this history, offering an unflinching portrait of the country while retaining a sense of optimism about its future.
