“The greatest prose masterpiece of non-fiction in America in the 19th century” — Garry Wills, historian “A master of English prose ... a history yet to be replaced.” — C. Vann Woodward, The New York Times Book Review Henry Adams’ History of the United States During the Administration of Thomas Jefferson is a complete and detailed account of political life in the U.S. from 1801 to 1809. With access to previously unavailable records from Europe, Adams chronicles the fascinating web of 19th century international diplomatic relations, the cast of characters including — in addition to the compelling figure of Jefferson himself — Napoleon Bonaparte, Aaron Burr, John Randolph and Toussaint L’Ouverture. “One of the greatest histories ever written in English, Henry Adams’s History of the United States is remarkable for its fullness of detail, its penetrating insight, and above all its strong, lively, and ironic style.” — Earl N. Harbert Henry Brooks Adams (February 16, 1838 – March 27, 1918) was an American historian and member of the Adams political family, being descended from two U.S. Presidents. As a young Harvard graduate, he was secretary to his father, Charles Francis Adams, Abraham Lincoln's ambassador in London, a posting that had much influence on the younger man, both through experience of wartime diplomacy and absorption in English culture, especially the works of John Stuart Mill. After the American Civil War, he became a noted political journalist who entertained America's foremost intellectuals at his homes in Washington and Boston. In his lifetime, he was best known for his History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a 9-volume work, praised for its literary style. His posthumously published memoirs, The Education of Henry Adams, won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to be named by the Modern Library as the top English-language nonfiction book of the 20th century.

From the rear cover of this 553 page book: "The significance of this work to the Civil War history community cannot be overstated. Its reappearance will fill a void in our understanding of the benevolent services provided by the United States Sanitary Commission (USSC) on the field of battle and the homefront during the Civil War. Established on June 9, 1861, by order of the Secretary of War and approved by President Lincoln, the USSC would integrate support with the U.S. Army Medical Department in attending to the needs of thousands of soldiers. The history of the USSC and its impact on the success of the Union armies, if not the the survival rate of its soldiers, has been largely overlooked. Stille provides insight into its organization, inspection of hospitals and camps, hospital transport services, distribution of supplies and fundraising as well as the services of the USSC on the battlefields of Chattanooga, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Cold Harblor, Wilderness, Olustee and others."

In the wake of 9/11, the United States government rediscovered the value of culture in international relations, sending cultural ambassadors around the world to promote the American way of life. This is the most recent effort to use American culture as a means to convince others that the United States is a land of freedom, equality, opportunity, and scientific and cultural achievements to match its material wealth and military prowess. In The History of United States Cultural Diplomacy Michael Krenn charts the history of the cultural diplomacy efforts from Benjamin Franklin's service as commissioner to France in the 1770s through to the present day. He explores how these efforts were sometimes inspiring, often disastrous, and nearly always controversial attempts to tell the 'truth' about America. This is the first comprehensive study of America's efforts in the field of cultural diplomacy. It reveals a dynamic conflict between those who view U.S. culture as a means to establish meaningful dialogues with the rest of the world and those who consider American art, music, theater as additional propaganda weapons.

Charles Austin Beard (November 27, 1874 - September 1, 1948) was an American historian. He published hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included radical re-evaluation of the Founding Fathers of the United States, whom he believed were more motivated by economics than by philosophical principles. This textbook from 1921 is still today one of the most interesting history books about the United States.
