Outline view by American (10)
I believe the answer is:
prospectus
'outline' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'view by american' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'prospect' (synonyms).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'prospect'+'us'='PROSPECTUS'
(Other definitions for prospectus that I've seen before include "Promotional booklet" , "Programme" , "Advertising booklet for school or university" , "Brochure giving details of college courses etc" , "Booklet of what's on offer" .)
