About this title

Synopsis:

A concise survey of US history based on "The United States", 7th edition, but half as long, this text presents a balanced approach to history in a traditional political-institutional framework. This edition contains coverage of majority and minority groups with a strong emphasis on crucial demographic changes, especially as they have affected the roles of women, racial and ethnic minorities, and children.

From the Back Cover:

This short volume is a condensed, rewritten, updated, and otherwise considerably revised version of The United States: Combined Edition, Seventh Edition. It reflects a division of chronological interest on the part of the two authors, with Jordan's interest being in early American history through the Civil War, and Litwack's during and since that revolutionary event to the present.
