Customer Rating: Summary: Good summary information Comment: Nothing can replace a good instructor to illuminate a topic, but this text provides a good basic summary of US History. It is well-paced and sensibly arranged. It held my attention for the hours of reading required. Customer Rating: Summary: useful for this class Comment: This book was useful for my history class and I learn some interesting things from it. That being said I dont think I would have brought it outside of this class nor do I think I would will read it now the class is over. Customer Rating: Summary: great! Comment: I use this book in school as a student, and it is probably the best book to learn a detailed history of the United States. Customer Rating: Summary: Great text- easy read- nonbiased info Comment: As a mid-30s woman who never got into history, I was afraid of this class... the text was excellent- a wonderful experience helping anyone to understand what REALLY happened. Very easy reading with notes on origin of conflicts that were never out in the open (Bay of Pigs... inherited from Eisenhower). Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Informative Comment: This book is a great experience for me. Will blow your mind if you really want to know about modern history.
