American History, Combined Edition, 2nd Edition: 1492 – Present

American History (Combined Edition) brings together the complete second editions of Thomas S. Kidd’s American History, volumes 1 and 2, in a single, accessible textbook. Spanning from the earliest Native American societies to the political and cultural struggles of the present, through the reelection of President Donald Trump, this volume offers a coherent narrative of the American experience. Written in clear, engaging prose, Kidd’s book entwines well-known and overlooked figures, major events, and formative ideas.

With Christianity central to the story, this combined edition equips students with historical insight and critical perspective to wrestle thoughtfully with the forces shaping contemporary American life.
