内容説明
For introductory Twentieth Century American History courses.
This book presents a compelling story of both the familiar and distant events and people of the twentieth century. The goal of this book is to emphasize to current and next generation students what they will need to know about our past to function best in the society that emerged from the twentieth century. The authors accomplished this by seeking integration -- combing political and social history, to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past, and to give voice to minor and major players alike. This strong, clear narrative is told in an engaging, forthright way, but also provides students with an abundance of tools to help them absorb the material and put it into context.
