The Contours of American History by William Appleman Williams, 1961.
 
This is a hard-cover, with a dust-wrapper. It is a first edition published by Johnathon Cape.
 
Williams book was quite controversial at the time of publication.He was considered one of America's greatest critics of US imperialism.
 
The cover is complete but has chips and soiling. The text-block edges have spotting. There is off-setting on the paste-downs. The binding is tight. The pages are clean.
 
A good copy.
