Using a thematic approach; this concise survey explores the many and varied threads of American history-social; intellectual; cultural; political; diplomatic; economic; and military-from the arrival of the first native American inhabitants thousand of years ago throught the crisis following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11; 2001. Irwin Unger; a Pulitzer Prize winning author; wrote this book after discovering from his own experiences teaching American History at the University of California at Davis and at NYU; that a thematic approach was much more interesting to students than a purely descriptive one.

I forget when this book was actually shipped out but being from NY and knowing that the book was coming from just over the river; NJ; it took nearly a month to receive it. This was a torturous since I expected to be waiting no more than a week at most for it. Must admit; the condition of the book is good and nice that it comes w/ a CD/Audio disc.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
