| Summary |
"A History of the United States is an account of the course of American history, discussing political, social, economic and cultural developments. Major themes include the relationship between territorial expansion and political history; the critical role of ethnic and racial conflict, and the complex relationship between race and class in American history; the powerful traditions of regionalism in American life and the shifting centres of gravity in American geography; and the remarkable force of radical evangelical and apocalyptic religion. For this new edition, Philip Jenkins reviews the major events of the last decade - most notably the development of the Internet economy and the course of the Clinton presidency - and brings the story up-to-date with an analysis of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath."--BOOK JACKET |
