A History of the American People

Best A History of the American People Review

A History of the American People
Product Feature

Product Description

“The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures,” starts Paul Johnson’s remarkable new American history. “No other national tale holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind.” Johnson’s history is a reinterpretation of American history from the first settlements to the Clinton administration. It covers every aspect of U.S. history–politics; affair and economics; art, literature and science; society and customs; complex traditions and devout beliefs. The tale is told in terms of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively made its unique character. Wherever possible, letters, diaries, and recorded conversations are used to ensure a sense of actuality. “The book has new and often trenchant things to say about every aspect and period of America’s past,” says Johnson, “and I do not seek, as some historians do, to hide my opinions.”

Johnson’s history presents John Winthrop, Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Franklin, Tom Paine, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison from a original perspective. It emphasizes the role of religion in American history and how ahead of schedule America was linked to England’s history and culture and includes sharp portraits of Andrew Jackson, Chief Justice Marshall, Clay, Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis. Johnson shows how Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt ushered in the age of huge affair and industry and how Woodrow Wilson revolutionized the government’s role. He offers new views of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover and of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and his role as commander in chief during World War II. An examination of the unforeseen greatness of Harry Truman and reassessments of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush follow. “Compulsively legible,” said Foreign Affairs of Johnson’s unique narrative skills and sharp profiles of people.

This is an in-depth portrait of a fantastic people, from their fragile origins through their struggles for independence and nationhood, their heroic efforts and sacrifices to deal with the `organic sin’ of slavery and the maintenance of the Union to its explosive economic growth and emergence as a world power and its sole superpower. Johnson discusses such contemporary topics as the politics of racism, education, Vietnam, the power of the press, biased correctness, the growth of litigation, and the rising influence of women. He sees Americans as a problem-solving people and the tale of America as “essentially one of difficulties being overcome by intelligence and skill, by faith and strength of purpose, by courage and persistence…Looking back on its past, and forward to its future, the auguries are that it will not disappoint humanity.”

This challenging narrative and interpretation of American history by the instigator of many distinguished historical works is now and again controversial and always provocative. Johnson’s views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.

Amazon.com Review
Paul Johnson, whose previous works include the distinguished Modern Era and A History of the Jews, has produced an epic that spans the history of the American people over the past 400 years. The prolific narrative covers every aspect of U.S. history, from science, customs, religion, and politics to the individual men and women who have helped shape the nation. His meticulous, provocative examinations of biased and social icons, from Lyndon Johnson to Norman Rockwell, are especially strong. Johnson’s text is intelligent and rich with detail, and yet extremely accessible for anyone interested in a reinterpretive analysis of America’s past.

What makes this book unique is Johnson’s approach to this self-professed Herculean task. The prevalent tone throughout is optimism. Whether he’s discussing race relations, industrialization, the history of women, immigrants, Vietnam, or biased correctness, Johnson–a staunch conservative who was born, bred, and educated in England–is openly enamored with America’s past, particularly the hardships and tribulations that the nation has had to overcome. He sees this tale as a series of vital lessons, not just for Americans but for the whole of mankind as well. At a time when other contemporary scholars find it simpler to complain about the past, Johnson offers the booklover “a compelling antidote to those who regard the future with cynicism.”

A Short HIstory of the American Revolution
Product Feature

Product Description

The first one-volume survey of the American Revolution that is both objective and comprehensive, this outstanding narrative history traces the growth of a conflict that inexorably set the American colonies on the road to independence. Offering a spirited chronicle of the war itself — the campaigns and strategies, the leaders on both sides, the problems of fielding and sustaining an army, and of maintaining drive — Stokesbury also brings the booklover to the Peace of Paris in 1783 and into the miltarily exhausted, financially ruined yet victorious United States as it emerged to make a workable national system.
