American History, Volume 2

1877 - Present

De: Thomas S. Kidd

Narrado por: Craig Hinkle

American History, Volume 2 gives a wide overview of America’s history from the end of the Civil War era, to the political and cultural struggles of contemporary times. Thomas S. Kidd employs lessons learned from his own scholarly expertise and history classes to weave together a compelling narrative of the defeats and triumphs that have defined the American national experience. Unlike many textbooks of modern American history, religion and faith remain central aspects of the book’s coverage through present-day America. It gives detailed treatment of episodes such as America’s military conflicts, the Civil Rights movement, and the culture wars of the past half-century. Professor Kidd also considers the development of America’s obsession with entertainment, from the rise of the first movies, to the social media age. American History, Volume 2 will help students wrestle with the political and cultural changes that have dramatically transformed contemporary American life.

American history through the eyes of a conservative Christian.

A comprehensive review of American history as told by a conservative Christian. At first the bias was less noticeable, however, the closer to modern history the author got the more his personal bias and options shown through his work. This is mainly concerning in that if he can't hide his bias and speak objectively in modern history who is to say he is doing so in the first half of the book. I can detect the bias at the end, but do not know enough to do so in the beginning. I recommend this as a second book on the topic so any biases will be more obvious to the reader.

History of American Christianity.

There is an absurd amount of Christianity in both of these volumes. Try a different history book.
