About The Penguin History of the USA

This new edition of Brogan’s superb one-volume history – from early British colonisation to the Reagan years – captures an array of dynamic personalities and events. In a broad sweep of America’s triumphant progress. Brogan explores the period leading to Independence from both the American and the British points of view, touching on permanent features of ‘the American character’ – both the good and the bad. He provides a masterly synthesis of all the latest research illustrating America’s rapid growth from humble beginnings to global dominance.
