책소개

＂미국이 불과 200여 년 전 대서양 해안의 보잘것 없는 몇 개의 식민지에서 시작해 어느 정치 전문가가 표현한 ‘최초의 포괄적 국가’로 변화되어 온 과정.
A chronological look at how the United States took shape -- from its origins as an obscure set of colonies on the Atlantic coast a little more than 200 years ago into what one political analyst today calls ＂＂the first universal nation.＂＂ This fully illustrated edition has been completely revised and updated by Alonzo L. Hamby, Distinguished Professor of History at Ohio University.
