Kurzbeschreibung
The Brief American Pageant retains the vivid chronological narrative of its full-length counterpart, focusing on the great public debates that have dominated American history. Engaging features draw students into the narrative, improving comprehension and increasing their interest in the material. "Varying Viewpoints" features explore the scholarly debates surrounding major historical issues, while "Makers of America" essays focus on the diverse ethnic, racial, and activist groups that compose America's pluralistic society.

This book handles its subject very well. It was the basic text for my 11th Grade history course, where it provided a good balance of mildly amusing wit and genuinely useful information.
The main advantage of "The American Pageant" is that the author is not trying to push a major political agenda. It lacks the patriotic drivel for which "traditional" history texts are often denounced. However, it also lacks the negative, depressing Socialist philosophy which makes Zinn's "People's History of the United States" so difficult to read.
The end result is a history text which does a history text's job: telling what happened. The book covers politics, economics, and major events in a style which is sometimes amusing and usually informative. Although not overly political, it also pays due attention to such important issues as race and gender.
Not a particularly "specialized" book, but an excellent survey text.

While taking AP American History at my high school I was worried about how much reading I would have to sacrifice myself to. While reading did take a good 45 minutes to an hour for each chapter in The American Pageant, it was exciting venture. Unlike most texts which are filled with flat sentences, the words used to teach history in the American Pageant bounce of the page and are filled with life. The vigor that Bailey and Kennedy bring to describing history is unlike anything I have ever seen before. History is told through metaphors and figurative language, the antithesis of almost all other text books which simply state the facts with no emotion. The enthusiasm in which the book was written rubbed of on me. I was actually excited about coming home and reading about World War I, or The Great Depression, or The Spanish-American War, or The Stormy Sixties. It was a vastly entertaining book, and, while I never thought I would say this, I am considering buying myself a copy for the years to come. The American Pageant taught me more history than anything I ever read. This fact is due to one key difference between this book and all other text books I have read: The American Pageant kept me interested. I will always remember the clever writing style and substanative information that was included in every chapter. I am forever grateful to The American Pageant for showing me the intresting and exciting side of the United State's past, and, of course, for helping me recieve outstanding grades in American History.

I read Baily's American Pagaent many years ago while an undergraduate. It made me really appreciate and love American History. I still thumb through the book I had all those years ago when a trivia question comes up. I taught American History for a year in high school before going on to law school. It's been a long, long time, but I recently saw the movie U-571 and I could still remembered Baily's comments about German U-boat captains reluctance to surface to identify ships, as required by international law at that time. "Shoot first and worry about the consequences later" was the paraphrase.
Thanks, Tom. You truly did make a difference for me. I still love American History 25 years after you inculcated me with that love.

Makes history fun
the only way in which one can call this book tedious is if one never cracks the binding. This is one of the wittiest books I have ever read. It turned me on to a love of history. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book is truly a book for the intelectually elite. Obviously, the others that gave this work of literary genius a review, know nothing about judging books. Lesen Sie weiter...
