Textul de pe ultima copertă
‘John Traynor provides a masterly, comprehensive and highly readable survey of the American Century. A model of crisp compression and clear organisation, it blends sharp analysis, broad themes, and deft portraits of leading figures to produce an authoritative introduction to the United States’ transition from the recognisably small-town society of the later 1800s to the global superpower of today.’ – Richard Carwardine, University of Oxford, UK ‘Mastering Modern United States History offers an engaging introduction to the politics and society of the United States during the twentieth century. Combining a vibrant writing style with well-structured and coherent chapters, this is an important new resource for both students and teachers.’ – Louisa Hotson, London Campus of Syracuse University, UK
Mastering Modern United States History provides an insightful and engaging account of the key political, economic and socio-cultural developments of the twentieth century. Combining factual coverage with an analysis of professional historians’ most recent interpretations of major domestic and foreign affairs, it fully explores dramatic events such as the Wall Street Crash, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Clinton Impeachment and the Gulf War.
This fully revised and updated edition now features two new chapters dedicated to African American History from 1900 to 2000. It also:
- Captures key information about each president, from Theodore Roosevelt through to George W. Bush, in ‘Presidential Profiles’ throughout the book
- Includes a new ‘American Lives’ feature, which gives insight into the lives of a wide range of cultural figures including the Wright Brothers, J.D. Salinger, Rachel Carson and Muhammad Ali
- Contains additional source material and exam-style questions for each chapter in an appendix
This lively text is the ideal companion for students of History and American Studies at both pre-degree and undergraduate level, and provides an excellent platform for further study.
