"The American Century" is a succinct, well-written history of the United States in the modern (post-1890's) era. It is valuable for either the second half of U.S. survey courses or for 20th Century U.S. courses for upper class students. The text places special emphasis on economic and urban growth, social and political change, civil rights and liberties, and the growth of the U.S. into a global superpower. The specialization of each author contributes to an unusually strong balance of coverage. The authors handle both domestic and foreign policy issues and demonstrate the ways in which domestic and foreign policies are linked.

This survey attempts to help US students put events in the history of their country in a global context. The book covers the social political, economic, legal and cultural aspects of history, and aims to take into account a wide range of modern historical opinion. This edition includes material on the Gulf War. There is also expanded coverage on the counter-culture and new material on the FBI's surveillance of Luther King. An instructor's manual and test bank is available.
