A precise and thorough overview of the major historical events that influenced and shaped the United States. It's accurate and informative and as unbiased as any reader could expect until the last chapter or so, where it is a bit too soon to analyze the most recent events, although the opinions

United States from the very beginning to present.

What I enjoyed the most was there were some events I learned while reading that I did not remember reading/learning about in school. That did make me go onto to read more on the subject.

What I didn't like was that there were certain areas that did not go into much details that I felt were very prominent to history. As stated before this was an overview of major events.

I feel like this would be beneficial for students in school to give a brief overview on historical events. I feel that this book would be beneficial for students in middle/high school age in additional to traditional textbooks.

I received a digital advanced reader copy from Book Funnel in exchange for my review.
