Esta Breve historia de los Estados Unidos permite al lector segur paso a paso, con amenidad y profundidad, el tránsito del pueblo estadounidense desde aquella mañana de abril de 1607 en que tres naves inglesas anclaron en Chesapeake y desembarcaron los primeros colonos, hasta la presidencia de George Bush, en un mundo ya radicalmente distinto, diferencia que no debe poco precisamente a los hechos aquí relatados.
Los Estados Unidos son una nación singular. En su breve historia han llegado a convertirse en la primera potencia mundial. Los sucesos que han marcado este vertiginoso ascenso son fruto de un espíritu vigoroso que encarna en aquellos pioneros que sometieron a fuerza de trabajo y esfuerzo personal un vastísimo territorio, y en los estadounidenses de hoy, que reafirman en la vida nacional su individualidad y su valor personal frente a cualquier intento de sujeción.
Los autores agrupan los acontecimientos nacionales según cada periodo presidencial, estrategia que ayuda mucho a imprimirle a esta obra un claro tinte didáctico. Nada importante de la vida estadounidense escapa al análisis crítico de los autores: la injusticia hacia los negros, los descalabros de la política exterior, el desastre de la guerra de Vietnam, los rasgos positivos y negativos de cada uno de sus líderes, el análisis de las grandes empresas o la ingenuidad de los planteamientos políticos anticomunistas.
