Гражданская война 1861-1865
James M. McPherson - 2003-12-11 (впервые опубликовано в 1988)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Тридцать лет назад под общим руководством одного из выдающихся американских историков современности Вэнна Вудворда (1908-1999) началось издание оксфордской "Истории Соединенных Штатов". Впечатляющая серия состоит из отдельных томов, составленных в хронологическом порядке, каждый из которых посвящен определенному периоду (к настоящему времени выпущены в свет восемь из намеченных двенадцати книг). В этом томе профессор Макферсон подробно рассматривает социально-политические, экономические и культурные противоречия, сделавшие Гражданскую войну неизбежной, рисует широкую панораму военных операций, промышленной мобилизации и дипломатических маневров сторон, набрасывает краткие, но выразительные портреты основных деятелей эпохи. Живой стиль изложения в сочетании со строгостью научного исследования, ведущегося в опоре на огромный массив документов и исторической литературы, делают "Боевой клич свободы" равно интересным как специалистам, так и любителям истории.

Народная история США
Howard Zinn - 1995-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1980)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Известный американский историк Говард Зинн дает свой, во многом отличный от большинства традиционных представлений, взгляд на важнейшие события истории США с колониальных времен до начала XXI в. Автор создал необычайно яркую, живую, насыщенную интереснейшими фактами историю жизни и борьбы за выживание и достоинство ущемленных социальных групп. Подлинными героями "Народной истории США" Г.Зинна оказались миллионы простых американцев. Опубликованная в 1980 г. и неоднократно переиздававшаяся, эта книга впервые переведена на русский язык, и, безусловно, привлечет внимание не только профессиональных историков, социологов и политологов, но и всех, кто интересуется историей Соединенных Штатов.
