Crucible of Power: A History of American Foreign Relations from 1897, Second Edit (repost)

Howard Jones "Crucible of Power: A History of American Foreign Relations from 1897, Second Edit"
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. | English | 2008-03-28 | ISBN: 0742558266 | 640 pages | PDF | 10 MB

In this updated edition of Crucible of Power, Howard Jones has included a number of revisions and additions aimed at making the book more attractive to students, teachers, and general readers. A new final chapter brings the story of America's foreign relations as close to the present as possible by focusing on President George W. Bush and his dealing with 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the global war on terrorism. Among other changes, every chapter now has at least one excerpt from a key document of the period, allowing the reader to examine historical evidence firsthand in hopes of providing a feel for the period involved, promoting an understanding of history through the eyes of its participants, and showing how the historian determines the important facts relevant to reconstructing a meaningful narrative.
