Read all a thousand pages and they never even kissed…

One star for using the word “Pooh-Poohed” though

Learned so much!!!!! It was a journey! Not a fan of the 1400-1890s. Very tiring read and book was so big it was a tiny bit overwhelming!

This was the required reading for my AP US history class. It was one of the best written textbooks I’ve been assigned, my teacher even allowed me to keep a copy. For a textbook, it was enjoyable. The author has a sense of humor. That being said, it was no beach read. If you’re self studying for the APUSH exam, I highly recommend this book. The sections covering the second half of the 20th century are a little bit ideologically driven, but that’s hard to avoid with recent events. Definitely a good foundational text for learning American History.
