The American Promise: A Concise History is a brief; inexpensive narrative with a clear political; chronological narrative that makes teaching and learning American history a snap. Streamlined by the authors themselves to create a truly concise book; the fifth edition is nearly 15 percent shorter than the fourth compact edition; yet it includes more primary sources than ever—including a new visual sources feature.

LeetGreat book for those of us who love San Francisco and who have spent the past 50+ years drinking in her wonderful drinking establishments. I; for one; love Martinis; but had no idea how the cocktail's name came about. I recently celebrated the book with a good drinking buddie with a super "martini lunch!"2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great insight into a city and it's cultureBy Brandon MonkGreat insight into a city and it's culture. I was unaware of all the contributions the City had on the cocktail world. Anyone looking to get a history lesson with a buzz should take the time to read this book. You'll feel as though you're walking through S.F. even if you've never visited. I for one; have only had the pleasure of visiting the City for a brief few hours.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. History; San Francisco; cocktails; booze; and a tale to tie it all together...By CustomerWhat a great book on so many levels; history; San Francisco; cocktails; booze; and a tale to tie it all together. This is a book you will enjoy reading for the story and then have it on your bar for a top shelf reference. It contains mouthwatering cocktail images and cool vintage photos of the Barbary Coast. I love the beautiful embossed cover sans dust jacket.
