American Stories: A History of the United States looks beyond the assortment of facts that make up US history to help you truly understand the story of our nation. Authors H. W. Brands, T. H. Breen and Ariela Gross present coverage of the dilemmas and decisions made by the American people, as well as by their leaders, that helped shape America.

The authors have revised the 5th Edition to reflect the latest scholarship and research in the field. A fresh approach to the text’s early chapters yields a more inclusive view of pre-colonial history. And an extensively updated closing chapter explains the key events of this century in the context of the compelling story of the United States to date.
