"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Besides the abundant and well-captioned illustrations, each chapter is introduced by an essay by historian Alan Brinkley, a professor at Columbia and winner of the National Book Award. Brinkley's text could stand alone as a solid, balanced overview of American history. It also adds essential structure and context to the book's parade of images. Eyes of the Nation is a rare combination of ravishing visuals with substantive, carefully conceived text and structure. For anyone interested in the vast American experience, it's nearly impossible to open its pages without being drawn in.
"A gripping and absorbing book whose words and pictures immerse you in the great sweep of American history."
--Walter Cronkite
"It's a dazzling cornucopia of Americana...I can't think of a better seasonal gift, though it's more than that. It's a collector's item."
--Herman Wouk
