How do you even begin to study U.S. history today? Historians now present a fractured view of American society. If any guiding national narrative remains, it is a tale of exploitation and oppression.

But the acclaimed historian Wilfred M. McClay is here to correct these problems. This slim guide shows you how to study the history of our country... and why. If you have ever found studying American history tedious or irrelevant, you won't after reading McClay's short and compulsively readable introduction. And if you have ever wondered how to challenge narratives of American oppression without whitewashing the past, this is the perfect place to start.
