4.9/5 (9191 ratings)

Description:THIS is the definitive account of the first years of the United States. The period is important if only because during it men debated publicly and violently the question of whether or not people could govern themselves. But beyond that, the advocates of world government today continually turn to this remarkable period for guidance and illumination. It is imperative, then, to have this record right.Dr. Jensen is able to rectify many serious misconceptions, especially those propagated by John Fiske, whose work he considers of no value as either history or example. Dr. John A. Krout, Dean of the Graduate Faculties of Columbia University, says, "The New Nation is the soundest account that has so far been written of the Confederation period. It is based on a remarkably wide range of source materials, many of them never before carefully examined. Despite its heavy load of factual data, its chief merit lies in its provocative interpretations and its judicious treatment of highly controversial subjects. The author has made a 'significant contribution' to our understanding of American history, in the best sense of that much overworked phrase."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
