This book places U.S. history in a global context and contradicts notions of "exceptionalism" created by the more traditional nationalist history one sees of America. It's major fault I think lies in its moralizing. Though his goal is noble, any historian should cringe at the thought of an author attempting to make "good world citizens" out of people - it threatens to replace one group's moralizing with another, and that's a dangerous place to head, no matter what the intention.

Good intro to America in the World history. There won't be too much in here that will be new to people who are familiar with the field, but it's a great place to start\to reference for a summary
