Product Description
Highly-respected for its impeccable scholarship and elegant writing style, American History: A Survey provides students and instructors with a comprehensive account of the American past in which no single approach or theme predominates. From its first edition, this text has included a scrupulous account of American political and diplomatic history. Today, however, the book explores areas of history such as social, cultural, urban, racial and ethnic history, more history of the West and South, environmental history, and the history of women and gender. In addition, American history has not evolved in a vacuum, but as part of a greater global world. The eleventh edition of this text places American history into that global context, making connections for students who live in an ever-expanding world themselves.

Reader Reviews
I have yet to finish reading the entirety of this rather extensive piece on the history of America, but so far have found this book to not only hold my interest, but to provide a wealth of important, and often fascinating information. I think all Americans should read this book because it teaches about the true foundations of our country. Some facts may be difficult for some to accept, such as the atrocities committed against the Native Americans, among others, but nonetheless they need to be told. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who really wants to learn about how our country came to be what it is today.
