Now in a newly updated and expanded second edition, The United States: A Brief Narrative History by co-authors Link Hullar and Scott Nelson offers students and non-specialist general readers with a succinct, "reader friendly" overview of American history beginning with the Native American nations, then the era of colonial discovery and expansion, followed by the development of an independent and democratic nation, through the years of civil war and sectional conflicts, to America's "Gilded Age", foreign wars, depressions, expansions, cultural revolutions, the ending of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terrorism. This "bite sized" approach to American history is as informed and informative as it is engaging and articulate. The United States: A Brief Narrative History is recommended for both school and community library collections, and an ideal read for immigrants new to the country and any others who are seeking a sound, easily absorbed grounding in the basics of American history.
