From the Back Cover
American Realities, Volume II: Historical Episodes from Reconstruction to the Present, Seventh Edition
J. William T. Youngs
In American Realities, J. William T. Youngs vividly recreates the past through a collection of essays that integrate the lives of Americans with the events and issues of each period. Through the author’s unique anecdotal writing style, each historical figure reveals our common humanity, and at the same time illuminates the distinct worlds, people, and eras in American history. These colorful and compelling essays capture the immediacy and reality of life in past times, and seek to find depth among broader themes and patterns. Each chapter contains helpful features that aid student learning, such as thought-provoking Study Questions and the in-depth Research Topic sections.
In Volume II of American Realities, learn about the Industrial Age through business giant Andrew Carnegie; learn about World War II through the flight of Superfortress bomber Enola Gay; learn about antiwar protests that stormed Berkeley during the Sixties; and much more.
