Summary:

[The authors] aim has been to create an effective instrument to enhance classroom learning and to foster critical thinking.... The understanding that the reader arrives at based on the evidence that emerges from the clash of views encourages the reader to view history as an interpretive discipline, not one of rote memorization. As in previous editions, the issues are arranged in chronological order and can be easily incorporated into any American history survey course. Each issue has an issue introduction, which set the stage for the debate that follows in the pro and con sections. -Pref.
