Wadsworth Publishing, 2006 Attractive and Thoughtful, but Huge! American Passages was the textbook used for one of my American History courses. As my instructor said, it was a much tougher book than the previous one that had been used for the course, and I can understand why.

However, ...             1968: The Election That Changed America (The American Ways)3 reviews Lewis L. Gould Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 1993 An Election That Changed America The election of 1968 is one of the most significant in American history.

Gould University Press of Kansas, 2008 History of the 1912 Election Although the subtitle mentions "the birth of modern American politics," this book is fascinating because it looks into an interesting election of an altogether different age.
