U.S. History in Global Perspective The inspiration for this book came from a recent survey of National History Day's (NHD) network of thousands of teachers in the US as well as those in Department of Defense and International Schools across the globe. We asked educators what materials might help them most in their teaching. Overwhelmingly, the response was a desire for instructional essays and sources related to international, foreign relations and world history. More Educator Resources...
