In his prize-winning classic, Johnson presents an in-depth portrait of American history from the first colonial settlements to the Clinton administration... Johnson's views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and in the end admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.
