American Epoch: A History of the United States (Three-Volume Set) by Arthur S. Link, with William B. Catton, offers a sweeping and authoritative account of American political, social, and economic transformation from 1900 to 1973. Volume I covers the Progressive Era and World War I, examining reform movements, industrial expansion, and the ideological battles surrounding Woodrow Wilson’s presidency and the League of Nations. Volume II, Affluence and Anxiety, explores the prosperity of the 1920s, the collapse into the Great Depression, Roosevelt’s New Deal, and the global upheaval of World War II, balancing economic analysis with cultural and political shifts. Volume III, The Era of the Cold War, traces the postwar emergence of the U.S. as a superpower, the rise of civil rights and social movements, Cold War diplomacy, and the domestic tensions of Vietnam, culminating in the early 1970s under Nixon. Across all volumes, Link and Catton emphasize institutional change, ideological conflict, and the evolving role of the United States on the world stage, making this set a foundational resource for understanding 20th-century American history.
