A clear and comprehensive A-Z guide to the history of the United States, charting its progress from British colony to 20th-century global superpower. It presents a detailed analysis of the key political movements, events, and personalities of US history from Washington to Watergate, treating in depth the social and economic factors that have shaped modern America from the Great Depression to the Great Society.
