Donaldson's highly successful textbook The Making of Modern America, introduces students to the cultural, social and political paths the United States has traveled from the end of WWII to the present day. While deftly cataloguing the sweeping changes and major events in America from "Dewey Defeats Truman" through the election of Donald Trump, this newly updated edition never loses touch with that American history taking place at the level of the people. This edition details not just the United States' rich cultural history, but elegantly repositions it as integral to our understanding of any portion of this country's past. Donaldson provides a factual foundation for students and then pushes them to interpret those facts, framing the discussions essential to any complete study of American history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Making of Modern America does an outstanding job of capturing postwar America's Zeitgeist through a comprehensive but clear treatment of the era's personalities, politics, and popular culture. The Making of Modern America's clarity and judgment would fit well into the second half of the U.S. History survey, and the work would serve very well for an upper-level course on the United States since the end of World War II. Finally, an integrated postwar textbook for undergraduates!"--Jeffrey P. Moran, Professor of History, University of Kansas<br><br>"The third edition of Gary A. Donaldson's The Making of Modern America is a splendid history of the country's complex saga from its post-World War II adjustments, to the era of presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Donaldson punctuates each of his lucid and fast-paced chapters with a reading, a document, and questions--pedagogy that supplements or complicates his narrative. Students and their teachers will welcome Donaldson's sure-handed analysis of America's modern era--a time of momentous challenges to its status as the world's richest and most innovative country."--John David Smith, Charles H. Stone Distinguished Professor of American History, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Gary A. Donaldson (PhD, LSU) is the Keller Foundation Chair in American History at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans. He is the author of numerous books on American political and diplomatic history.
