The leading narrative history that students love to read, in a more concise format.
With more than two million copies sold, America remains the leading narrative history survey text because it’s a book that students enjoy reading. The tenth edition is both more relevant, offering increased attention to the culture of everyday life, and more accessible, featuring a reduced number of chapters and a streamlined narrative throughout. The brief edition is 20 percent shorter in total pages than its parent full edition.
