A model of crisp compression and clear organisation, it blends sharp analysis, broad themes, and deft portraits of leading figures to produce an authoritative introduction to the United States' transition from the recognisably small-town society of the later 1800s to the global superpower of today. * Richard Carwardine, University of Oxford, UK *
Mastering Modern United States History offers an engaging introduction to the politics and society of the United States during the twentieth century. Combining a vibrant writing style with well-structured and coherent chapters, this is an important new resource for both students and teachers. * Louisa Hotson, London Campus of Syracuse University, UK *
