Book was very bad

A good refresher of key moments in American history. Enjoyed reading it.

What happened to JFK? It is not mentioned in this book.

Any knowledge is good knowledge I will have to reread it once I get done with the China and Cuba books.

While the nature of this book covers a lot of ground, the downside is missing some significant details. History is not black and white. There are complex issues, people, and situations that must be accounted for. On a few occasions, the author seems to interject a judgment/assessment on history and historical figures that may not be fair, even a negligent misrepresentation due to bias.

Short and sweet.

Rejogged my memory leaving the country and returning.

American history from grade school, summed up in 70 pages! I learned more reading this short book than I did during my entire time in school.

History in a nutshell.

The history of America is always an amazing read no matter what, however once you get toward the more modern events you can tell the author has a bias and it’s definitely projected into the book. This book is a good read, but I like to read facts rather than the authors opinion of events. Another point I saw in another review of this book about the factual inaccuracy of the Rosa Parks section. Like they said, if one fact is wrong it makes you question the rest of the book.
