内容説明・目次

内容説明

This text presents the history of the United States not as an endless parade of specific facts but as a story with twists and turns, heroes and villains, saints and sinners, and even some comic relief. Historians Allen Weinstein and David Rubel narrate American history from Columbus to the present as Americans actually lived it (not as you studied it in school). Each of the 26 chapters presents a particular historical episode - the Lewis and Clark expedition, for example, or the Cuban Missile Crisis - while exploring the most important themes in US history connected to that episode. Also included are two dozen American profiles written by other leading historians, featuring figures such as Supreme Court justice John Marshall, President Theodore Roosevelt and playwright Lillian Hellman.
