Informative book for young people.

Primer

This book is likely aimed a teens. The content is simplified to appeal to the understanding of youth. The basic content is there without too much in the way of detail. As someone who has read a lot of history, this is nothing more than a refresher of the basic events leading to a declaration of independence from Britain.
