The American nation Book

This was the book i had to read for my A.P. U.S. History class and it worked quite well. Some chapters dragged on while others were quite interesting. People who just want to learn more details on major, well known events probably will be disappointed, as the books is more focused in the real details of the formation of the american nation. This includes the economic, political, and social subtle and not so subtle changes that created modern America. If you like to read about the wars and battles fought by America, also not a lot of focus there. Its important to understand ahead of time that there is a difference between well known and popular events in history, and the ones that really affected America. Overall, its a good book that has a surprising personal feel to it.
