United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination

Promises and turmoil, the 1960s -- Limits of a superpower, 1969-1980 -- Conservative challenge, 1980-present. [This book] was designed to be used by students as a review text in the weeks prior to taking the AP U.S. history examination in May. At the same time, the book was also conceived as a guide to accompany a year-long course in AP or honors U.S. history. It may be used to bridge the gap between the typical textbook used in these courses and the needs of AP history candidates, who must be able to deal successfully with a challenging exam.-Pref
