Summary: An excellent summary of the last 100 years.
Comment: An American Century is one of those books that will continue to enlighten you no matter how many times you pick it up to read. This is a coffee table book that will entertain your guests, and you don't have to be there. Anyone who has the slightesr interest in the history of this country will find this book fascinating.
Rating: 5
Summary: Extraordinary scholarship, elegance of style.
Comment: Harold Evans has produced a tour de force. This is a tribute to America from a loving immigrant--a man who has gained international fame as an editor and writer, first in his native Britain and later in the United States. Evans has produced a superb history of 20th century America, but his book starts in the last century so as to give us a perspective on what was to follow. The research is prodigious; the selection of photographs is stunning; the writing is elegant and unintrusive. This is a book meant to be savored page by page--and to be handed down as a heirloom.
Rating: 3
Summary: A popular conventional history
Comment: I listened to all books of the series. I found that it was enjoyable to listen to, quite lively and it helped me in filling some gap in my knowledge of history. As such I would recommend it.
Having said that I found that overall it is a popular history book of little scholarly value and as many such books it has strong patriotic, ethnocentric and us-centric overtones.
if you are looking for an easy to listen to history of the period, especially if you are not very knowledgeable about it, this is a good book for you.
