America's Century: Perspectives on U.S. History Since 1900Iwan W. Morgan, Neil A. Wynn Holmes & Meier, 1993 - 359 pages A cohesive collection of twelve essays, the book brilliantly achieves its ambitious agenda: to present a comprehensive overview of the major issues shaping U.S. society and government during this century; to examine the impact of recurrent historical forces; to probe the major historiographical debates that have subjected important themes and personalities to revisionist and counter-revisionist interpretation; and to reflect a broad comparative perspective that takes into account the nation's uniqueness as well as its role as a member of the larger Atlantic community. |
