Reviews

[Nicole Abiad]

A decent overview of the surface of US history. No, it does not go into the deep details of events, but that cannot be expected in such a broad ranging account.

[John Devlin]

A well done compilation of U.S. history, filled with balanced analysis, and surprisingly a little humor.

This was my textbook for apush, and i have to say that while it was an easy read, it functioned well for that class. So easy i couldnt believe ot was used in an AP class.
