Summary:

This book pairs documents on twelve subjects to showcase different perspectives on the same historical topic. In so doing, it helps students grapple with the complicated nature of history, how it is made, and how historians interpret the past.

Each unit contains an overview for context, followed by two documents, each with a document overview and discussion questions.
