Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-12 00:00:00 Scott Crossen The complete idiot's guide to American history is my first experience with " The completee idiot's guide book series". Axelrod summarizes in an extremely brief way some -unfortunately- of the american history. The reader comes to know some shocking facts, for example i didn't know before now that colombus isn't the first sailor who discovered the american land, it was Bjarni Heryulfasor. Overall, the book is a great overview to the american history. A recommended book

Review # 2 was written on 2011-10-04 00:00:00 Carlos Pacis This was a great overview of the many different aspects of American history: social, economic, religious, political, etc. Not only did it cover the main events, such as wars, it also delved into the atmosphere of the country at different points in time. This broad overview really helped me see connections between events and ideologies and showed the steps between our vastly different culture in the early 1900s to what it is now. I highly recommend this book for those of you wanting an easy read about our nation!
