[Marco Gonzalez · Rating 4 out of 5]

The general text was of good use for framing the content of the exam but the extra stimulus was generally not useful. As for it being just a regular book for understanding US history it was lackluster in its whole representation of the US but the swathes it did cover were done well.

Great textbook on the APUSH course and American history in general. Goes from pre-Columbus to modern-day (e.g. 2024 POTUS election).
