American Horizons: US History in a Global Context, Volume Two: Since 1865

by Michael Schaller, Janette Thomas Greenwood, Andrew Kirk

In American U.S. History in a Global Context, Fourth Edition, the authors use the frequent movement of people, goods, and ideas into, out of, and within America's borders as a framework. This unique approach provides a fully integrated global perspective that seamlessly contextualizes American events within the wider world. Presented in two volumes for maximum flexibility--and supplemented by two sourcebooks of primary documents-- American Horizons illustrates the relevance of U.S. history to students by centering on the matrix of issues that dominate their lives.
