Description
A True History of the United States will change the way its readers view America's past and present. Written in vivid, engaging prose by a combat veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a former professor of US history at The United States Military Academy West Point, his alma mater, this book grew out of a course that Daniel A. Sjursen taught to cadets. Sjursen challenges readers to think deeply and critically and to apply common sense to their understanding to our republic's history. Covering all of the major events, movements, and figures in American history, Sjursen shifts the lens, offering fresh insights and uncommon empathy giving respect to the facts where its intellectually hones in its presentation and analysis.
