{"product_id":"9780199923601","title":"The Comparative Approach to American History","description":"In the mid 1960s, C. Vann Woodward was asked to organize a program of broadcast lectures on US history for the Voice of America as part of a longer series designed to acquaint foreign audiences with leaders in American arts and sciences. Reasoning that a comparative approach \"was peculiarly adapted to the interests and needs of foreign audiences,\" Woodward commissioned twenty-two noted scholars to cover classic topics in American history--the Civil War, the World Wars, slavery, immigration, and many others--but to add a comparative dimension by relating these topics to developments elsewhere in the world. The result was the 1968 Basic Books edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Comparative Approach to American History\u003c\/em\u003e.  Now, three decades later, Oxford is very pleased to be reissuing this classic collection of historical essays in a paperback edition, with a new introduction by Woodward that discusses the decline and resurgence of comparative history since the 1960s.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120090169584,"sku":"9780199923601","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199923601_p0.jpg?v=1763673709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199923601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
