Product Description
Known for its clear narrative voice, impeccable scholarship, and affordability, Alan Brinkley’s The Unfinished Nation offers a concise but comprehensive examination of American History.

This fifth edition of Volume 1 includes coverage of events and developments through the year 1877 and features two new essays.
