American History: A Survey, Vol. 1: To 1877

Rating:
Summary: A brilliant, balanced and in-depth survey of U.S. history.
Review: In "American History: A Survey", Alan Brinkley manages to create a comprehensive survey of American history, devoting in-depth discussion to both political and social history. In the process new insight is shed on familiar events while important aspects of the past which tend to be overlooked, e.g. Native Americans, women and African Americans, are covered in detail. Features like "Where Historians Disagree" not only show and amply discuss different viewpoints on significant issues but also show that the study of history itself is a dynamic and living process. The ideal survey of American history. Balances detail and "the big picture" perfectly, all in a very readable prose

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book has been a great aid in writing my research papers! I really liked the way the book was broken down between chapters and sections, it made choosing a research topic much easier. The book was also very well written and to the point, it was not at boring at all!
