Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The United States is, by design, an argument that never fully resolves. Its founding document declares all men created equal while its founding economy depended on slavery. Its Constitution divides power specifically to prevent any single faction from ever fully winning - which means the cou…ntry has spent two hundred fifty years locked in a genuinely permanent negotiation over what it actually is. STARS AND STRIFE tells that story fast: thirteen turning points, two hundred fifty years, a country that keeps almost tearing itself apart and keeps finding a way to stay one country anyway. A revolution nobody outside the colonies expected to succeed. A constitution built on compromises its own framers knew were indefensible. A civil war that killed more Americans than every other American war combined. A Reconstruction that promised real equality and was violently dismantled within a decade - and a civil rights movement, a full century later, finally finishing what it started. Written with the pace and voice of a great storyteller rather than a textbook, this is American history for readers who want the real story - accurate, vivid, and built to move. The book doesn't smooth this into a simple story of expanding freedom: it holds the genuine progress and the genuine cost together, honestly, the way this entire series always has. Inside you'll find: - The thirteen defining turning points of American history, from Jamestown to the present day- Seven deeper-dive chapters: how the Constitution actually works, slavery as an economic institution, immigration and nativism, the long fight for the vote, the real (not Hollywood) West, the presidents who expanded the office, and the world America built after 1945- A cast of characters, a quick-reference timeline, and a glossary Whether you're new to this history or already know your Gettysburg from your Yorktown, STARS AND STRIFE moves at a pace that respects your time.
