Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-22 00:00:00 Michel Brunet This book is an excellent general history of the US, one which accents the cultural development of this nation. It is an antidote to the puerile trash "People's History"(Howard Zinn), a book unfortunately used as a textbook in some school districts. Now that it seems that America's journey toward freedom is being abandoned in favor of the Marxist EuroTrash Megastate favored by the PC- Howard Zinn crowd Paul Johnson's history, a history that sees the tradition of freedom and enterprise as benefiting humanity and offering an unparalled opportunity to rise from poverty, is a book that tries to keep alive the unique dream that made this country stand out among the nations of the Earth. When you're huddling in your unheated, candle-lit shack waiting for your unemployment check and your Food Stamps to arrive in the regime of Clinton III you can read this book and remember what once was. This book is extremely well written and Johnson creates a seamless narrative. He starts from the first settlements and quite a lot of the book focuses on the early development of culture and technology before the Revolutionary War. Technology and culture are accented in this book, as he makes the point that freedom and the dynamic expansion of the country led to a flowering of both. For a broad understanding of the development and growth of this country this is an excellent book to read.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-09 00:00:00 George Subleski This is more of a right wing conservative christian fairytale than a history book. The idea that we got out of the great depression because Roosevelt followed a plan that Hoover put into place before leaving office should come with some corroboration and support. Also, I don't think pro choice advocates are equivalent to antebellum slavers. All histories are biased, I accept that, but some verification and cogent arguments would be appreciated. This was obviously written to sway the ignorant masses.
