1001 EVENTS THAT MADE AMERICA(ISBN=9780792253075) pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

　　For some, patriotism means flags and parades, for others it's

"My country right or wrong." But it's much more than that, and as

Alan Axelrod observes in this revealing review of our history, true

patriotism is built on a bedrock of understanding—who we are as

individuals and as a nation, how our ideals and our democracy have

evolved, and what it really means to be an American. It's a

challenge that calls for an open mind and a clear perspective on

the people, events, and issues that shaped our society—and that's

just what 1001 Events That Made America provides.

This handy, informative chronology of key events in our

history sweeps from 45,000 B.C., when the first intrepid Asians

crossed the Bering land bridge to populate North America, to the

21st century, which finds us the richest and most powerful country

in the world—a prodigious, panoramic journey marked out by more

than 1,000 milestones and turning points, each explained in

concise, lively detail. From Plymouth Rock to Pearl Harbor, from

the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, from George Washington

to George W. Bush, we learn what happened, who was involved, and

why it's important.

Axelrod, author of the popular What Every American Should Know

About American History, has a wonderful knack for capturing

powerful ideas, towering figures, and definitive moments with a

memorable turn of phrase, and by the time readers follow him step

by step from our past to our present, they'll have come a long way

towards a real and rewarding answer to the question: What is a

patriot?
