Críticas
"A masterful recounting of the Amercian experience from the discovery of the New World to the present... It is a perfect history for our times." -- Robert Dallek, author of Nixon and Kissinger "In 2008, Americans face war, terrorism, recession and the rising economies of China and India. Yet the author avers there is still reason to hope for good leadership. Astute assessments of an evolving nation and ideal reading for November voters." -- Kirkus Reviews "Provides everything a casual (or bewildered) reader needs to know about the United States from the first English colonists until the beginning of 2008... An objective narrative of this nation's history that readers of all political stripes will appreciate." -- Publishers Weekly "One of our great historians has now given us yet another great work... [It] may be brief, but it is wise, eloquent and authoritative. Readers in search of a sprightly tour of the nation's lives and times need look no farther than Remini's latest achievement." -- Jon Meacham, author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
Reseña del editor
An abbreviated, accessible, and lively narrative history of the United States, this erudite volume contains the essential facts about the discovery, settlement, growth, and development of the American nation and its institutions, including the arrival and migration of Native Americans, the founding of a republic under the Constitution, the emergence of the United States as a world power, the outbreak of terrorism here and abroad, and everything in between. In addition, Remini illustrates how former English subjects slowly transformed themselves into Americans, and shows how a collection of sovereign, independent colonies united to create a workable, constantly evolving republican government whose democratic principles reflect the changing mores and attitudes of the citizens it represents. He explains the reasons for the nation's unique and enduring strengths, its artistic and cultural accomplishments, its genius in developing new products to sell to the world, and its abiding commitment to individual freedoms.
