Currents in American History
A Brief History of the United States
By Terry D. Bilhartz and Alan C. Elliot
The history of the United States is a fascinating tale of intrigue, adventure, and progress, with many surprising twists and turns—and Currents in American History is designed to convey the defining elements of the story in an engaging, quick-paced narrative. Rather than covering a bit of everything, it traces the American people's drive to expand liberty and equality through important turning points in the journey as represented by fourteen pivotal days. Far shorter than most standard texts, this affordable work makes it possible for students to conceptualize America's complex history by assessing the causes and consequences of fourteen momentous days that changed the nation's course.
