Walter LaFeber
These original essays in their first edition were most welcome and significant because they were readable, succinct interpretations of pivotal events offered by leading scholars in the field. With the addition of three new and important essays that focus on the Cold War, the new edition is even better.
Michael J. Hogan
An up-to-date and readable collection of essays by well-known specialists. Taken together, they provide excellent coverage of key issues in the history of modern America. A good choice for the undergraduate classroom.
