"How did that happen?" students wonder about their past. America’s History provides a clear explanation. Instructors rely on America’s History to help them teach that history matters — this means helping their students understand not only what happened, but also why. For the new, sixth edition, the authors took a hard look at all aspects of their text, considered what worked and what didn’t, and crafted a broad revision plan that demonstrates, once again, their unmatched commitment to America’s History. The hallmark of the revision is a thorough reconsideration of the post-1945 period that incorporates new scholarship and makes sense of the recent past, but America’s History, Sixth Edition offers much more. This includes additional narrative changes in both volumes, a new in-text feature program based on written and visual primary documents in every chapter, and a host of new and improved pedagogic features. With its clear exposition, insightful analysis and in-text sources, America’s History, gives instructors and students everything they need.

Not that great,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: America's History, Combined Edition (Hardcover)
I had to use this book for a U.S. history class. It is not well organized, it jumps from one topic and time period to the next so you are confused all most the whole time about where and when they are talking about. I would not read this book if I had a choice. I enjoy history but there must be a better book.

History Revised,
This review is from: America's History, Combined Edition (Hardcover)
As a pupil of history, and having read my fair share (and then some) of America's nonfiction historical documents and books, I can say that this is yet another glossed over "portrait" of America. To me deemed more likely a High School history book rather than a Collegiate text.
