Item #:2185

Filled with riveting text and featuring more than 100 archival photographs, these sweeping volumes cover everything in American history from Columbus’ discovery of the New World and the heroism of the Revolution, to the dire hours of the Civil War, the reforms of the early 1900s, the Civil Rights Movements of the 1960s and the gut-wrenching tension of the Cold War. This extraordinary set cuts through the cobwebs of time, memory and prevailing cynicism and is a stirring reminder of America’s greatness and purpose.
