An Illustrated History of the United States of America
Bryn O'Callaghan1999

One of the best history books for students from intermediate upwards and for those classes that have already studied English in their first, extra year (bilingual secondaries). A fascinating history of the USA from the time of the Amerindians to the culturally diverse but united country of today. Describes all the major events, and concludes with an evaluation of America's impact on the world this century. Makes extensive use of contemporary quotations to examine the contribution made by various people - not all of them famous - to American history. Topics covered include colonial life, the Civil War and the American involvement in Vietnam. Each chapter consists of two or three double page spreads with inset material highlighting some of the characters or events mentioned in the main text.
