Review # 1 was written on 2011-11-08 00:00:00 John Gjonlekaj Do not ever read this book. If you are a teacher/ principal/ administrator/ superintendent and you're trying to choose a history text book to teach from, please, please, PLEASE, DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ONE. DO NOT PUT YOUR STUDENTS THROUGH THIS HELL. The book has random, stupid facts like "They were enemies (but later forgave each other and became close friends)." AND I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. Also, it DOES NOT EVEN MENTION THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. What kind of history book does not talk about the Gettysburg Address?! It was just horrible. If you bought this, I pray you're able to return it and go buy a different one.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-18 00:00:00 Robert Rzymowski 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.
