USA History in Brief

by Mildred Sola Neely

The history of the United States has been an experiment in democracy for more than 200 years. Issues that were addressed in the early years continue to be addressed and resolved
big government versus small government, individual rights versus group rights, unfettered capitalism versus regulated commerce and labor, engagement with the world versus isolationism.
The expectations for American democracy have always been
high, and the reality has sometimes been disappointing. Yet the nation has grown and prospered, through a continual process of adaptation and compromise.

The first title in the new "In Brief" series, this publication summarizes in a few thousand words the history of how the United States was founded and the forces and events that shaped the dynamic and varied country that it has become today.

يحكي تاريخ الولايات المتحدة بشكل مقتضب منذ اكتشافها حتى بدايات القرن الواحد والعشرين .
مفيد لمن هو مهتم بتاريخ الدول لاسيما دولة عظمى مثل الولايات المتحدة.
كنت على وشك إعطاء الكتاب خمس نجمات ولكن اكتفيت بأربع لعدم تطرقه ( او تطرقه على استحياء ) للمجازر التى أُرتكبت في حق البشرية وخصوصاً مجازر الهنود الحمر وهم السكان الأصليين لهذه الارض !!
