United States history is an epic tale nearly three centuries long, and the American History edition of The Intellectual Devotional provides lessons in nearly every aspect of it. After devoting a year to the 365 entries in our latest edition, you'll be conversant with our nation's past as it has unfolded in seven diverse fields: Politics & Leadership, War & Peace, Rights & Reform, Business, Building America, Literature and Art.

Refresh your memory on the details of the Watergate scandal; review the sometimes tragic and sometimes triumphant history of the conflicts that have shaped America; watch the progress of civil rights from the Middle Passage to the Voting Rights Act; and reacquaint yourself with the fruits of American ingenuity—its extraordinary inventions, great art and innovative literature.
