Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I grew up reading political and military history; that's what I was taught in high school and college, for the most part. When I took over my school's Advanced Placement program in US History, I decided that while I could teach the traditional forms of history, such as politics and the wars, I simply didn't know enough social history. Given the fact that social history is the dominant form of history today (and realizing that there simply wasn't that much new to say about politics or wars), I turned to this masterful textbook. My students love this book: it's readable, entertaining, and thorough. I add in the political and military stuff, when it's needed. About the only major hole in the text is some short-changing of the Monroe Doctrine, which is the biggest error that I could see. Teachers have to choose textbooks that address their shortcomings; if you don't know your political or military history, choose another textbook. But if you have the same background I do (and most people over thirty do), then choose this one. It's been very successful in my classroom.

Format:Taschenbuch
Nothing unusual about this text. Similiar format to all intro college classes using the subject American History to 1877. Overall very informative, but not something anyone would want to read before going to bed. Definitely good research material.

I disagree strongly with the previous reviews of this book.
My university department just chose this text for our US survey courses. Typically, it is much more focused on social and cultural history than on the "meat and potatos" that students need to master BEFORE any of the social/cultural stuff has a context: good, old-fashioned political, diplomatic, and yes, even military history (previous reviewers are simply wrong here, or maybe refering to an earlier edition--we have the 4th).
I won't bother going into too many details, since the sad list is all too common with college textbooks on the market today. I merely submit two observations: 1) The growing evidence ranging from the anecdotal (Jay Leno) to the statistical that Americans under 40 are losing almost all of their historical heritage (aside from making us the laughing stock of the rest of the civilized world, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that this just might have unfortunate implications for our future as a global military and economic superpower sometime in the not-too-distant future); and
2) The fact that the chapter on World War II contained in Henretta, 4th Ed., although thirty pages long, has just SEVEN PAGES on the actual war itself--and that covers all theaters and all belligerants from Blitzkrieg to Hiroshima (and even those pages are filled with large and small errors). That's no way to solve the problem, folks.
