I had a love/hate relationship with this book. I read it along with my son for an American history course, and though I thought the coverage was great, and I mostly agreed with the author's point of view, I found myself wanting to throttle him sometimes because of his weird personal views on some of the characters. Overall, though, it's a much better read for American history than most text books.
