While the history of the United States may be relatively short, the Americas as a whole has a long and winding history that runs through two continents. From the history of Native Americans to the birth of the United States, the life of revolutionaries in Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, or the Central American Wars of the 1980's, Hatchards American history department covers all bases. Browse our selection of the very best history on the Americas, whether contemporary or historiographical classics.
