For courses in U.S. history since 1945.

The United States Since 1945: Historical Interpretations gives students the opportunity to compare and contrast leading interpretations of key historical events and issues in recent American history, presenting two or three carefully edited scholarly writings on each topic covered.

This book is a collection of secondary readings on key topics in U.S. history since 1945, edited by two leading historians in the field. Due to the growing interest among teachers and students in the 1970s and on, the authors have collected material that concentrates heavily on recent history, including current globalization and the events of 9/11. The reader is divided into three parts, covering 1945-1960, 1960-1974, and 1974 to the present.

I didn't get the book until a month after I ordered it but the condition of the book was just as the seller described. Also, the seller was in constant contact with me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent collection of secondary documents
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2011
I assign this book in a history course. Each chapter chooses a major event since 1945 and presents two articles about it, each representing a different viewpoint. Additionally, each segment has a list of primary sources on the WWW and an introduction that briefly explains both the event and the controversies that surround it.

The quality of the sources varies, but I can see the author's reasons for choosing each one. The articles are excellent for stirring debate and introducing students to the concept of history as interpretation (as opposed to history = past events). My only major complaint about the text is that it is of poor quality. I don't know what process they used to print it, but I get better results on my $50 inkjet at home.

Looks like it was barely touched with the occasional underlined word. All pages intact and in good condition.
