This latest addition to the Histories of the Modern Nations series explores the complex and diverse history of the United States from the nation's precolonial origins to the present day. Supported by contemporary historiography, this book highlights America's diverse populations and the myriad struggles over time that many, including millions of Indigenous peoples and African Americans, have historically faced in a country where freedom and opportunity have been promised, but not always delivered, to all Americans. From before the time of Christopher Columbus to the presidencies of Donald J. Trump and Joseph R. Biden, the author introduces readers to the people, events, and ideas that have for more than 2 centuries shaped the story of the USA both at home and abroad.

A. Glenn Crothers is Associate Professor of History at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, USA.
