'America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and
lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.' -
Abraham Lincoln Is the story of the United States that of George
Washington, John Adams and Barack Obama? Or of slave rebel Nat
Turner, of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King? Or Sitting Bull and
Al Capone? Or Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and OJ Simpson? Of course,
it is the story of all these, of both civil war and world war, of
gold rush and dust bowl, of the Pilgrim Fathers and religious
cults, of Prohibition and the Mafia, of the Salem Witch Trials and
the McCarthy-era witch-hunts. From the Iroquois and early European
settlers to the Revolutionary War and Civil War, from slavery to
segregation, from the frontier to the Reservations, The History of
America is a chronological examination of the United States through
politics, labour, big business, crime and culture. Featuring such
varied characters as Thomas Jefferson and John Brown, Bugsy Siegel
and J P Morgan, Calamity Jane, Chuck Berry and Bonnie & Clyde,
it tells the story of the first 'new nation', the first major
colony to revolt successfully against colonial rule, and how it
became the world's most powerful country. Extensively researched
and illustrated with 180 black-&-white artworks and
illustrations, The History of America is a lively and fascinating
account of the darker side of the story of the United States.
