This book is an engaging account of US history from the first
European contact with the 'New World' to the election of Donald
Trump in 2016. Bruce Kuklick's straightforward yet authoritative
narrative takes students through the complexities of US history
without oversimplifying of requiring prior knowledge. Placing
politics in the context of religious culture and exploring
America's assertive expansion throughout history, A Political
History of the USA is supported by wide-ranging examples, vivid
extracts from primary sources, maps and illustrations which
illuminate the main text. The historical narrative it presents is
concise, nuanced and sharply drawn. Offering a compelling yet
balanced account of US political, cultural and religious history,
this is essential reading for undergraduate students of History and
American Studies. New to this Edition: - More emphasis on the
religious dimensions of the American story, explaining the
continuing relevance of evangelical Christians - A new chapter on
the period since 2008 - Incorporation of new research - Discussion
of the paradox of modernism and religion in America - A revised
bibliography, including more 'classic' works
