The The United States - A Brief Narrative History

Abstract

In the spring 2003 number of this journal, Larry Madaras wrote a perceptive and highly useful review of the first edition of Hullar and Nelson's The United States. In the preface to both editions, the authors claim to offer up an account of "big ideas, major themes, important events, and basic facts ... arranged in a chronological narrative that tells a lively story without talking down to the reader."
