Description

The American Promise: A Compact History combines a dynamic narrative, stunning visuals, and abundant help for students in a unique mid-sized format that makes this text easier to teach, read, and study than any other book on the market. Delivered within a clear political framework and condensed by the authors themselves to provide just the right amount of reading, the narrative brings history to life through the voices and perspectives of people who embraced and contested America’s promise. With more full-color maps, illustrations, artifacts, and features than any competing text, this mid-sized book provides exceptional support for teaching and learning. Enhanced with more tools for study and review, and offered at a price thirty percent lower (or more) than most full-length texts, the third compact edition is just the right choice for many courses.
