Book Description

0195031814 978-0195031812 January 13, 1983 2
A Concise History of the American Republic, Second Edition, is a compact, authoritative, gracefully written narrative of American history from the arrival of the Native Americans' Siberian forebears to the economic conflicts of the Carter and Reagan administrations. Its distinguished authors embrace a full range of the American experience: economic and social, literary and spiritual, political and military. In the engaging narrative that has made this work so well received, the second edition offers fresh and incisive analyses of the American party system, the Cold War, unemployment, environmental problems, Middle East conflicts, the energy crisis, our relations with China, the issues surrounding various elections, and much more. Major social, political, and economic policies and trends that have affected women and minority groups are recorded in detail. A Concise History is illustrated with 30 maps and over 200 paintings, cartoons, and photographs.
Available in one-volume paper and cloth editions and in two separate paperback volumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PURCHASE!, November 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the first time I've made a second-hand book purchase and before getting it I was a bit worried. However, I must say that the book is in much better condition than I expected. It's perfect! You could say it's almost brand new, believe me!

I strongly recommend this type of purchase at amazon.com and hope to buy many more books there in the future!

Thank you for everything!
