Abstract:
... this concise survey explores the many and varied threads of American history -- social, intellectual, cultural, political, diplomatic, economic, and military -- from the arrival of the first Native American inhabitants thousands of years ago to the crisis following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Inclusive of all the diverse groups that are and have been part of the American fabric, it shows how the story of America is a human story revealing the imperfections, as well as the triumphs of human endeavor and the human spirit. -Back cover.
