Cassell's Dictionary of Modern American History is a guide to the people, events, movements and ideas that have shaped modern America. Taking as its starting point the period immediately preceding the American Revolution, the dictionary guides the reader through the birth of the United States and its 19th-century territorial expansion, examines the traumatic impact of the Civil War and America's rapid ascent to great-power status, and goes on to consider the economic consequences of the Great Depression, America's decisive role in two world wars and the many domestic upheavals of the 20th century, from the Civil Rights Movement to the Lewinsky Scandal.
The dictionary contains over 1000 articles focusing not only on major political, diplomatic and military topics but also on economic, social and cultural matters. Extensive thematic articles on core subjects such as the Civil War and Reconstruction blend clear and readable narrative with trenchant analysis, whilst a wealth of briefer entries define essential terms from baby boom to bussing, provide biographical data on public figures as diverse as Eleanor Roosevelt and Sitting Bull, deliver key facts about battles, treaties and acts of Congress from the Banking Act to the Bay of Pigs, and explain the significance of crucial Supreme Court verdicts from Marbury vs. Madison to Roe vs. Wade.
