America in the twentieth century: a study of the United States since 1917
"This book traces the development of the United States in the twentieth century, paying particular attention to the year after 1917. Dr. Adams is one of the leading British scholars in American studies and has done much to encourage interest in the subject. The book follows two main themes. One traces the change in America's place in the world from a position of isolation, and suspicion of foreign entanglements, to its present role as leader of the western world. The second is the increasing initiative taken by the Federal Government in improving social conditions and ensuring civil rights for all citizens. There is a wide-raging introductory chapter covering the period up to 1918, and accounts of the cultural and social background are included. The book will be valuable reading for students of history and American studies in universities, colleges and schools."--Publisher
