USA

Two of our leading Americanists present a readably written history of the world superpower, covering the beginnings of the original settlement, voyages of discovery, the first white colonists, the formation of the famous twelve New England colonies, their independence, the annexation of French and Spanish territories, the Indian Wars and the conquest of the West, the American Civil War, and the path to a first-rate position of power. The book takes the reader all the way to the reaction of American society to the 11 September 2001 attacks.
