Arranged as a series of short articles, Evans`s huge coffee-table book examines most of the major changes that took place in America from the late 1800s through the 1990s. It looks at the role that the United States played as the major world power in the 20th century as well as the many societal shifts within U.S. borders. Enhanced by hundreds of photographs (some well-known, some less so) of not only politicians and celebrities but ordinary Americans in all walks of life, along with editorial cartoons and magazine covers, the book provides a concise history of approximately 100 years of American life.
