Customer Review #1:
 very good
This is a very nice textbook, and is meant for those who have already had a background in history. I use it for my AP class and really like it. The book reads very well - unlike a lot of history books it doesnt use complex grammar and spelling to sound sophisticated - and has a lot of detail as well as a liberal and well-founded opinion; in addition it has very good diagrams, illustrations, and a chronology for each chapter. It is a real book - there are no built in study guides, self review, or page-consuming explainations of simple concepts that most textbooks have. I reccomend this for all who wish to seriously study history, but not for those who want to skim a book for a quick review.

Customer Review #2:
 Biased..
This book came from a total liberal slant. It tells history in a false way, and twists things to fit the authors point of view. Plus, it is almost anti-america. Everything in there has a negative tone to it, and describes the white males as basically destroying everyone else, and how america is so evil. please. America is the longest standing country out there, yet the authors seem to think our founders were all cracked. BTW I use this book for my high school AP US history class.

Good Book
This makes an excellent undergraduate textbook in US history -- also good just for a general read.
