But because they are equally certain that America is American and must be understood on its own terms they have given most attention to the development of its own distinctive way of life.
Aimed at providing readers on both sides of the Atlantic - and all over the world - with a fresh understanding of the American past, this history places more than usual emphasis on the growth of American ideas, in politics, the arts, religion and society.
Here, in relatively small compass, is a survey of the^ American spirit and mind as it has matured over three centuries of swift and complex development!^
The cover, designed by Germane Facetti, shows a detail from 'Pigeon's Egg Head' by George Catlin, in the Berenson Collection
