A Concise History of the USA

In A Concise History of the USA Andrew Sinclair begins his exploration of American history with a chapter on The New World and the Colonies, where he outlines the importance of the Pilgrim Fathers. Having taken the reader through the founding events of this nation Sinclair then thrusts us into the American Revolution and declaration of Independence in 1776, sends us on a whistle stop tour of the civil war before propelling us into the twentieth century. This succinct and vivid portrayal of the history of the USA is enhanced by a series of illustrations and images that help bring the history of this country to life, from the assassination of President Lincoln to the Great Depression and on into the new millennium. A Concise History of the USA is a must have for anyone interested in the key events that stitch together America's colourful history.
