Description

'Compelling reading...Hugh Brogan's book will delight the general reader as much as the student'--The Times Educational SupplementThis superb one-volume history--from early British colonization to the fall of President Nixon--captures all the vivid personalities and events as well as the broad sweep of America's triumphant progress. Hugh Brogan looks at the period leading to Independence from the American "and" British points of view, explores the permanent features, both good and bad, of the 'American character' and produces a masterly synthesis of all the latest research to show how the USA developed so rapidly from small beginnings to global dominance.'His account of the origins and pressures leading to and deepening the Vietnam involvement is one of the best--I would say the best--in print...He will be welcomed by American readers no less than those in his own country'--J.K. Galbraith in the Sunday Times'Mr Brogan has both a real gift for narrative and the ability to deal succinctly and tellingly with the individual and his contribution'--Lord Beloff in the Daily Telegraph'A marvellous, exhilirating book'--Jonathan Steinberg in the Standard'Vigorous, authoritative and to the point'--Phillip Whitehead in the ListenerFormerly published as The Pelican History of the United States of America.
