| Abstract
|
:
|
A reinterpretation of American history from the first settlements to the Clinton administration, this volume covers every aspect of U.S. history: politics, business and economics, art, literature, science, society and customs, complex traditions, and religious beliefs. The story is told in terms of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Wherever possible, letters, diaries and recorded conversations are used to ensure a sense of actuality.
