This series examines eight major conflicts in American history, describing how each has shaped and altered the nation and how the United States’ role in international conflicts has affected world history. Primary sources and archival images help bring each era to life, while maps, sidebars, and biographies of military and political leaders reinforce the text. Ideal for reports, each volume allows students to investigate a topic at their own pace and to delve deeper into key historical events touched on in their American history textbooks.
