The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People continues the evolution of Alan Brinkley’s influential work as authors John M. Giggie and Andrew J. Huebner build upon this canonical text, with a focus on making history relatable and accessible to today’s students.

Its authorship, balanced narrative, and coverage effectuates personal connections with students drawing upon their own experiences prompting readers to interpret evidence before them and bring to the task their own questions for a continuing conversation of our ever-unfinished nation.
