Taking sides : Clashing views on controversial issues in 20th century American history
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This volume presents current controversies that surround controversial issues in United States history since 1945 in a debate-style format designed to stimulate student interest and develop critical thinking skills. The issues are arranged in chronological order and can be easily incorporated into any American history survey course. It doesn't concentrate on when events happened, rather focusing on why, and on specific events rather than on the significance of those events. These topics are framed with a general summary and introduction, and a postscript or challenge questions. This work features an annotated listing of selected World Wide Web sites and an online instructor's resource guide with testing material available.
