There is a tradition of one-volume narrative histories of the
United States in which the political, military, diplomatic, social,
and economic strands are skillfully interwoven. Rather than add to
these volumes, The Epic of America paints a sweeping picture of the
diverse past that has created America's national story. In this
important narrative, James Truslow Adams reviews how the ordinary
American has matured over time in outlook, character, and opinion.
Adams grew increasingly conscious of how different an American is
now from the man or woman of any other advanced nation. He is
equally interested in the whole of American history, how it began,
and what it represented in the first half of the twentieth century.
Adams traces the historical origins of the American concept of
"bigger and better," attitudes toward business, the American Dream,
and other characteristics generally considered "typically
American." Ever since America became an independent nation, each
generation has seen an uprising of its citizens to save the
American Dream from forces seeking to overwhelm and dispel it.
Possibly the greatest of these struggles is still ahead not a
struggle of revolutionists against established order, but of the
ordinary person who seeks to hold fast to the rights of "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This classic book is
valuable for a new age and as important for this new century as it
was when originally written.
