The leading text in the U.S. survey course.
Give Me Liberty! is the #1 book in the U.S. history survey course because it works in the classroom. A single-author text by a leader in the field, Give Me Liberty! delivers an authoritative, accessible, concise, and integrated American history. Updated with powerful new scholarship on borderlands and the West, the Fifth Edition brings new interactive History Skills Tutorials and Norton InQuizitive for History, the award-winning adaptive quizzing tool. The best-selling Seagull Edition is also available in full color for the first time.Cheaper than college bookstores, ya know. Dog ears here and there because it's used, but it's perfect. Definitely worth it. Didn't come the day it was scheduled only because the weather was awful and roads were icy! Would buy again.Pure Marxian Historiography. This text, like so many others, is yet another example of Marxian historiography, where narrative takes the place of objective fact. The author states leftist positions on the great depression and the new deal as fact, along with many other criticisms of the free market and espousals of big government. Additionally this author magnifies any and all American mistakes, but interestingly applies the action of Democratic party as America's sins, and refrains from any critique of communism while espousing the USSR's virtues in juxtaposition with the US, and downplays the extent of communist infiltration and subversion, while exaggerating paranoia and anti communist cold war actions. History as a discipline in the modern university is one of the most Marxist, and seeks to obfuscate communist evils or Islamic expansion and slavery, while exaggerating and magnifying American and western errors, covering for the Democratic party by burdening all of America with it's sins, and generally subverts America while advocating for an authoritarian gov't as a solution to all ills as if this were a statement of obvious fact. I seriously pity anyone who has this inflicted on them for class, or anyone sufficiently indoctrinated in Marxian ideology to take this as actual history. When the university bubble bursts, I can only hope that the humanities purge the marxists and reacquaint themselves with the scientific method, and dump textbooks like this.Pictures dont match I'm reading this textbook for an American history class. The material is pretty dense at first, but once you get used to the style of writing it is quite interest. My issue is that halfway through the textbook the pictures didn't match their descriptions. I assume this is an error in the formatting of the e-book. Pretty dissappoiting because I like the photos.
