About this product

Product Information

Simon Winchester, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Atlantic and The Professor and the Madman , delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings. How did America become "one nation, indivisible"? What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America's most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark and the leaders of the Great Surveys; the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Rochester to San Francisco, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today's United States. Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. Featuring 32 illustrations throughout the text, The Men Who United the States is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is even better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.

DVD rare à trouver en France, entièrement conforme à la description et bien sous-titré en français. Vendeur très sérieux, bien que les délais de livraison soient un peu long, mais c'est le prix de l'acheminement des États-Unis vers la France et cela n'est pas du fait du vendeur. Emballage soigné et dvd bien protégé. Très heureux d'avoir pu trouver ce film découvert sur l'esplanade du Centre Juno Beach de Courseulles sur Mer, cet été, en dépit des orages ! Vivement recommandé ! Et au plaisir !

    Well written and spoken

    Very interesting stories. Compelling. I have most of Simon Winchester's books on CDs and find them superb for long drives. And his English accent adds to the joy.
