Synopsis
A wonderfully written, sweeping narrative history of the United States that will help Americans discover the land they call home High School and College Age Students The Original Land of Hope Narrative in Paperback Edition We have a glut of text and trade books on American history. But what we don't have is a compact, inexpensive, authoritative, and compulsively readable book that will offer to intelligent young Americans a coherent, persuasive, and inspiring narrative of their own country. Such an account will shape and deepen their sense of the land they inhabit, and by making them understand that land's roots, will equip them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society, and provide them with a vivid and enduring sense of membership in one of the greatest enterprises in human history: the exciting, perilous, and immensely consequential story of their own country. The existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. They are more likely to reflect the skeptical outlook of specialized professional academic historians, an outlook that supports a fragmented and fractured view of modern American society, and that fails to convey to young people the greater arc of that history. Or they reflect the outlook of radical critics of American society, who seek to debunk the standard American narrative, and has an enormous, and largely negative, effect upon the teaching of American history in American high schools and colleges. This state of affairs cannot continue for long without producing serious consequences. A great nation needs and deserves a great and coherent narrative, as an expression of its own self-understanding: and it needs to convey that narrative to its young effectively. It perhaps goes without saying that such a narrative cannot be a fairy tale or a whitewash of the past; it will not be convincing if it is not truthful. But there is no necessary contradiction between an honest account and an inspiring one. This account seeks to provide both.

- t***o (278)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent Seller. Unfortunately the item came in damaged condition (water damaged) which is no fault of the seller but the delivery service. Great value for money and to trade with them again. Thank you (:
- y***d (30)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseBook is in better condition than I expected, however that was a gamble on my part because there wasn’t detail in the listing, and there was only a stock photo. Annoyed that the cost of shipping was half the cost of the book, but in general I am satisfied with the purchase. I would definitely recommend Seller having details and photos in future listings as this just as easily could have been a $h!t purchase and waste of money.The Virtuous and Violent Women of Seventeenth-Century Massachusetts by Romeo (#396181670236)
