Twentieth-Century America

Michael Heale is Emeritus Professor of American History, University of Lancaster, UK

'Heale is diligent in exploring the development of race, class and gender, and also writes environmental issues into the mainstream of US history. The scope of this book necessitates a transition from historical territory into the recent past, but the treatment of the Clinton Administration is adroitly managed and will serve future students well.' Times Higher 'The book crams a massive amount of detail into very little space. It is thus less cumbersome than similar textbooks. I would recommend the adoption of this book as a core text for a survey course of twentieth-century America.' Journal of American Studies, 39
