[Joe Collis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A helpful short book with an excellent timeline of American/World events up to 2005. Contains many of the most important documents, speeches, and patriotic content about our nation you could want in one volume.

I mean...literally just lists of stuff any American has known practically since they were in diapers. Nothing new.
