This
new edition updates the classic 1985 reference work through the
end of the twentieth century. Featuring an attractive new layout,
revisions, and over 30 percent new material, the Chronological
History of U.S. Foreign Relations, Second Edition provides full
coverage of its subject.
Beginning with a brief introductory section on the colonial period
up to 1775, this set provides clear and comprehensive descriptions
of every event concerning U.S. foreign affairs on a year-by-year
basis from 1776 to 2000.
For those needing a quick reference, the Chronological History
offers brief headings that clearly describe each event, designed
in a way that allows readers to readily distinguish between incidents
in which the U.S. was a key player and those that occurred in
other countries that had an impact on U.S. policy. Readers seeking
more detailed background information will benefit from the accessible
descriptions and discussions of causes and consequences, as well
as the thorough cumulative index, which provides a comprehensive
list of persons, places, events, and issues, helping students
to follow themes and compare time periods.
Now expanded to three volumes and extensively illustrated with
38 maps and 300 photos depicting key people and events, this is
an essential reference for a wide range of students, researchers,
and specialists. The new edition of this acclaimed work will be
