This History book was for a college course, "HISTORY 1" that discusses and reviews history from 1942 all the way to 1969. The author Irwin Unger, is a historian, and like all historians, has his own opinions of how history was created. I thank not only my history teacher, but this author as well, for reteaching me history the right way.

[James Violand]

A good history text for its subject although more broad than I would recommend. Not that concerned with dates, events and persons, but with struggles, prejudices and injustices to overcome.
