Produktbeschreibung
The story of the United States, from Revolutionary War to Donald Trump The Oxford Illustrated History of the United States offers a completely fresh account of the founding and development of the American republic. Lavishly illustrated, drawing upon the latest scholarship, and with a more representative and diverse cast of characters than any previous study, the book charts the course of American history from the Chicxulub meteor impact off the coast of Mexico more than 66 million years ago to the second inauguration of Donald J. Trump in 2025. Contributors examine the political, social, economic, cultural and environmental factors which shaped American development, along with the many struggles for freedom and opportunity which have defined the life of the nation. The chapters also place the United States in regional and global context, revealing how Americans came to play such a prominent role not only in shaping the fate of North America, but also in crafting political, cultural, and economic orders for the wider world. Documenting the extraordinary rise of the United States, the book also contextualizes the challenges of our current historical moment, helping readers to understand how Americans forged a society of unprecedented prosperity and became the most powerful and influential nation in the world, while offering deep insight into the nation's turbulent present.
