美國是當今世界的超級大國，左右世界局勢，然而美國的歷史從獨立迄今僅兩百餘年，如從早期歐洲移民時期算起，亦不過四百年左右。為何在這四百年歷史中，美國能逐步崛起成為世界強權？
「一個未完成的國家」，似乎能夠回應這個提問。來自世界各地的移民對美國所懷抱的夢想與經歷的現實，時至今日，仍持續「建造」美國。他們走過獨立戰爭、南北戰爭的困境，也曾陷入越戰、文化衝突的泥沼，但最後這些都成為形塑現代美國樣貌的基石。
本書從文明發展史的角度，為讀者揭開美國這個「移民之邦」各族裔人民的夢想，以及為實現夢想而奮鬥的歷程，帶我們認識歷史上的美國移民，如何在一片荒蕪的土地上，打造出自由與個人主義至上的國度，最後更一大跨步成為世界之強。美國歷史的發展，是人類文明史上極為獨特且重要的一章，值得我們細細閱讀。
