American History in Pictures and Illustrations
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Unlike typical history books that prefer a chronological narrative, this book unfolds the story by focusing on twenty-six events that represent specific periods in American history, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It is a fun and interesting story that tells the story of 500 years of history from the discovery of the New World to the present. Rather than describing each event sequentially from the time of its occurrence to its outcome, it cross-edits the present and the past to create dramatic fun. It also uses a novel-like, flowing, and witty writing style, making it exciting.
In addition to the main text, related people and events are recorded in small boxes to enrich the content and clearly convey the topic.
This book attempts an in-depth historical approach through various materials related to important historical events, including photographs, maps, portraits, paintings depicting specific events, newspaper cartoons, books and documents, posters, and personal belongings of historical figures. These materials are precious treasures that the authors acquired through extensive travel across the United States.
The 2,000 or so illustrations are more than enough to stimulate readers' historical imagination, and the sophisticated editing, which breaks away from the conventional flat editing and is considerate of the reader, provides an opportunity to look at American history in three dimensions.
