Content introduction:
Eric Fonner, president of the American Historical Association, and The Economist strongly recommend it!
From the edge of the world to the center, from isolation to intimacy, reshape American history from a global perspective.
It is the general trend to bring American history into a broader global historical perspective. Thomas Bender is one of the most influential historians in the contemporary era. He advocates and practices the idea of transnational historiography. One Country is Bender's masterpiece, which has become a classic in the study of American history. Bender abandoned the history of a single isolated nation-state, broke the established research framework, re-placed the United States in a global perspective, and reconstructed American history. Under the background of global history, the author examines all major themes and unique events in American history, such as the American Revolution, the westward movement, the Civil War, the industrial revolution, the present situation and the future. From the colonial period of the New World in16th century to the social reform in the 20th century, the United States must be regarded as a part of the world and interact with it as a part of the world.

Editor's recommendation
1. New American history. Create a "transnational history", break the existing pattern of national history and rewrite American history from the perspective of global history. The viewpoint is novel, the vision is grand, and it is refreshing.
Not limited by the history of the traditional nation-state, this paper, aiming at the "American exceptionalism", abandons the practice of historical research only within the national framework, expands the spatial background of American history to the whole world, transcends the barriers of nationalism, and focuses on the interaction and mutual influence between the United States and other countries in the world with better methods and horizons.
2. Read American classics. If you want to know more about America and get rid of self-entertainment, this book is essential.
Thomas Bender specializes in American history and is one of the most influential historians in contemporary times. This book is Thomas Bender's masterpiece, covering many topics such as the evolution of American political system and economic system, the root of current problems and so on. Understanding reality from history is inseparable from the classic works of American history.
3. A lot of knowledge and compatibility. Social history, cultural history, political history, economic history and environmental history are equally important, and a book runs through all aspects of American history.
In addition to major events that determine the fate of the country, this book also includes social, cultural and economic phenomena that are not widely understood in American history, such as cultural dramas when Europeans and Americans first met with Africans, immigration activities and the establishment of Asian-American communities. The interaction of politics, economy, culture, society and environment constitutes a complete, systematic and vivid American history.
4. The layout is meticulous and the metaphor is just right. Fascinating stories and incisive analysis and judgment complement each other and have strong appeal.
Different from the previous books on American history, this book is refined and sublimated on the basis of linear narrative, such as the historical litigation of American party politics, the trend of non-free labor economic model to future industrialized organizations, etc., which has a more subtle view than historical facts.
5. A number of top scholars and heavyweight media jointly recommended.
Eric Fonner, president of American Historical Association and professor of history at Columbia University, Professor Tony Pratt of the University of Chicago and the University of California at Berkeley, Professor Linda Cobb of the University of Iowa, The Economist, etc. Praised the book.
Praise and recommend
Bender's profound views are exciting, while the breadth of his reading is daunting. The fact that sounds simple is that the United States cannot be isolated from the world. This fact deserves to be repeatedly emphasized, and Mr. Bender has done a good job in this respect.
-The Economist
This book is full of ambition and challenges from beginning to end, and it will definitely change the way we study and teach American history. If we need to emphasize how our past history is integrated into global history, now is the time.
Eric funer
President of American Historical Association, professor of history at Columbia University.
This is a debate that combines wisdom and passion. This vivid work is neither arrogant nor obscure. Bender did not write a detailed American history according to the existing model, but used his globalization view to stimulate our desire to read.
Tony Pratt
Professor of History, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley
Professor Bender challenged our imagination of American history with great boldness of vision and exquisite writing. His lively explanation eclipsed the old textbooks. He provided a brand-new perspective for us to understand the formation of the 2 1 century world. I can't put this book down.
Linda K. Cobb
Professor, College of Humanities, University of Iowa
This is an inspiring and fascinating book with high readability ... this book has been praised too much. Bender not only made a new interpretation of American history, but also reminded us that the United States is just one of many countries in the "interdependent world".
