USA in the 20th Century. From Burger to Bush. The Complete History

The United States can be viewed in different ways. For some, it is a "city upon a hill" and a beacon of freedom. For others, it is an armed-to-the-teeth "gendarme," shamelessly intervening in the fates of peoples around the globe for its own benefits and power. One way or another, there is no doubt that the USA is one of the most powerful states in the modern world. Official Washington openly proclaims its exceptionalism and claims global leadership. Yet, at the beginning of the 20th century, the influence of the United States had barely begun to extend beyond the Western Hemisphere. How did the USA manage to successfully navigate through the tumultuous trials of the last century? In what way did the "star-spangled" achieve its remarkable power? And what does the flip side of the "American Dream" conceal? The book by prominent contemporary historian Alex Kaplan will answer these and many other questions. Before you is the complete history of the United States of America in the 20th century – from burger to Bush.
