Description
The Second Compact Edition of The American Promise: A History of the United States offers a fresh alternative: a unique mid-sized book that pairs the color, pedagogy, and features of a full-length text with a briefer narrative at a lower price. Condensed by the authors themselves and based on the highly successful full-length survey text, The American Promise, the Second Compact Edition deftly integrates social, economic, and cultural developments into a strong political framework that reveals history as it happened, from the viewpoint of the historical actors whose interpretations of "the American promise" drove historical change. By placing an emphasis on the individuals behind American history, the authors provide a vivid and memorable narrative that captures students' interest and sparks their historical imagination.
