For the series and the book, The History Channel challenged a panel of   leading historians, including author Steven M. Gillon, to come up with some less   well-known but historically significant events that triggered change in America.   Together, the days they chose tell a story about the great democratic ideals upon   which our country was built.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You won’t find July 4, 1776, for instance, or the   attack on Fort Sumter that ignited the Civil War, or the day Neil Armstrong set foot   on the moon. But January 25, 1787, is here. On that day, the ragtag men of Shays’   Rebellion attacked the federal arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, and set the   new nation on the path to a strong central government. January 24, 1848, is also   on the list. That’s when a carpenter named John Marshall spotted a few glittering   flakes of gold in a California riverbed. The discovery profoundly altered the American   dream. Here, too, is the day that noted pacifist Albert Einstein unwittingly advocated   the creation of the Manhattan Project, thus setting in motion a terrible chain of   events.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Re-creating each event with vivid immediacy, accessibility, and historical   accuracy, \u003ci\u003e10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America\u003c\/i\u003e comes together as a history of   our country, from the first colonists’ contact with Native Americans to the 1960s.   It is a snapshot of our country as we were, are, and will be.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62268618867075,"sku":"9780307339348","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780307339348.jpg?v=1785508273","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/10-days-that-unexpectedly-changed-america-9780307339348","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
