These United States: A Nation in the Making: 1945 to the Present - Softcover

"[A] timely, remarkable new survey of America since 1890 [...] required reading." -- Eric Herschthal - Slate "A terrifically accessible, up-to-date educational tool." -- Kirkus Reviews

President Franklin Roosevelt told Americans in a 1936 fireside chat, "I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making." These United States builds on this foundation to present a readable, accessible history of the United States throughout the twentieth century-an ongoing and inspiring story of great leaders and everyday citizens marching, fighting, voting and legislating to make the nation's promise of democracy a reality for all Americans.
