From 1990 until 1997, he was the president and publisher of Random House, and later the editorial director for US News and World Report, the New York Daily News, and The Atlantic Monthly. He edited three books by Henry Kissinger, My American Journey by Colin Powell, Game Plan: How to Conduct the U.S. Soviet Contest by Zbiginew Brzezinski; Debt and Danger: The World Economic Crisis by Harold Lever; and The Yom Kippur War by The Insight Team of The Sunday Times.

Evans' best known work, The American Century, won critical acclaim when published in 1998, staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 10 weeks. The sequel, They Made America (2004), describes the lives of some of the country's most important inventors and innovators, and was named by Fortune as one of the best books in the 75 years of that magazine's publication.

  • Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology
    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.
