Summary: A Useful Tool in Understanding American History
Comment: Asher's "Concepts in American History" is a collection of essays written on recurring themes in the history of the united states, such as Democracy, Nativism, and Liberalism. Each of the 11 essays in the book chronicles the history of the theme to its relevence in history at the time the book was published (1996). For example, a chapter on Liberty begins with its conception in ancient Greece and ends with the Bush Sr. administration.

I found this book useful when writing essays. When asked to write about how President Roosevelt helped the United States to recover from the Great Depression, I cited ideas from Asher.

"Concepts in American History" can get dull at times, and sometimes Asher fails to make his point clear, such as his essay on Equality where he seemed to be overcome by his dissapointment in the American justice system. Overall, this is a usefull tool for American History studies.
