Gillon, The American Paradox - A History Of The United States Since 1945

Abstract

Comprehensive and balanced textbooks for courses on recent U.S. history can be difficult to come by, whether at the secondary or university level. Steven Gillon's The American Paradox resolves that concern for teachers and professors. Combining an effective writing style with generous use of primary sources and a number of helpful illustrations, Gillon has prepared a volume that can easily serve as the required text for a college-level course or as a classroom supplement for a high school history survey.
