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 Reader's Companion to the American Presidency4 reviews Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2000 An objective view of POTUS. Washington was a great President, right? Lincoln's presidency was without blemish, correct? Bill Clinton was the only President to have an affair or two? Well what if these things happened before? How does each President stack up against the other? This book might just have the answers you're looking for.

Item is exactly as described. It's actually 10 times better than the one I had bought originally from our bookstore - books over there were so beat up, but this book was only lightly used and shipping was decent.             American History: A Survey, Volume 1 MP w/Powerweb1 review Alan Brinkley McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2002 The Only Textbook I've Ever Read Cover to Cover It may seem dorky to read a textbook cover to cover but that's what history students at my old high school do every year with Alan Brinkley's, "American History: A Survey." It is engaging, scholarly, fascinating, and thorough. For an extensive study and understanding of American History, Brinkley's work is a must. It is fairly unbiased and is noted as one of the "most-readable" history texts. I ...             The Unfinished Nation, Volume 1, MP w/PowerWeb : A Concise History of the American People2 reviews Alan Brinkley McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2003 American history A good tour de force history of the United States. The only issue I saw at the time I wished there were more recommended readings.             Voices of Protest11 reviews Alan Brinkley Knopf, 1982 an impressive piece of history... I marvel at the depth and range written in Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and the Great Depression by Alan Brinkley. Without very much firsthand information from Huey Long and Charles Coughlin, Alan Brinkley was able to portray the lives of these two unlikely figureheads of the Great Depression. From their small town beginnings to their national prominence to their movement's ...             Liberalism and Its Discontents4 reviews Alan Brinkley Harvard University Press, 1998 Timeless, and always fascinating The editorial reviews published by Amazon just about tell it all. Highly recommended as valuable (and timeless) insights into who we are collectively (USA) and how we got here. These essays combine big-picture themes with how those themes were engaged by real people. I am reluctant to single out one essay, but will do so anyway: The Problem of American Conservativism. Brinkley goes far ...             American History : A Survey/With Map Vol I & II3 reviews Alan Brinkley Mcgraw-Hill College, 1995 Wonderful Survey: Breathes excitement into U.S. History I used this book for self-study after many years away from any formal courses, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find myself engrossed in the lucid and engaging descriptions, the beautiful illustrations and photographs, and helpful index. It covers, at just the right level of detail, American History from the colonization of the Americas to Clinton's presidency. It gives a big picture ...             The End of Reform : New Deal Liberalism in Recession and War6 reviews Alan Brinkley Knopf, 1995 Insightful This book is really fundamental for understanding both the New Deal and the Liberal tradition it engendered. The book's title evokes two prior famous books; Hofstader's The Age of Reform and Lowi's End of Liberalism. Brinkley positioned this book as a bridge between Hofstader's description and analysis of the Progressive movement and Lowi's analysis of the disintegration of Liberalism. ...             American Journey4 reviews Joyce Oldham Appleby, Alan Brinkley, ... McGraw-Hill/Glencoe, 1997 Outstanding The book was received in a timely manner. It was everything that the person had described it. Great condition and a great price.

This book was in Excellent condition. Better than expected. Great shipping time, would do future business!             The American Presidency5 reviews Mariner Books, 2004 Thought-Provoking, Perhaps Controversial Interpretations For non-scholars such as I, Brinkley and Dyer have assembled and edited generally outstanding essays written by eminent academics, each of whom focuses her or his attention on one of the 43 presidents of the United States. They are indeed "concise and thorough accounts," as Brinkley and Dyer suggest in their Preface, but they also attempt to do more than that. "They are deliberately and frankly ...             The Unfinished Nation5 reviews Alan Brinkley McGraw-Hill, 2000 The best available narrative history of the US. Alan Brinkley has put together a wonderfully readable, balanced, and thorough history of the US, in just under a thousand pages. It would be ideal for college introductory classes (or very sophisticated high school students); particularly welcome are the selections from primary sources ("American Voices") that often represent other-than-white-male views, but include William Bradford on landing at ...             American History: A Survey4 reviews Alan Brinkley, Richard N. Current, ... McGraw-Hill Companies, 1991 Wow- a history book?? I was never one to enjoy history much until my college history class used this book for the main text. I found this book great reading (interesting and kept my attention most of the time). I must say that after that class and this book, I have become much more interested in aspects of history. This book is wonderful and I would recommend it to any college professor of history or high school ...             The Unfinished Nation: Brief, Interactive with Primary Source Investigator1 review Alan Brinkley McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007 This is a great book, very clearly written.
