Summary: Oh? America didn't always exist?
Comment: I thought this book was a wonderful resource for the non-historian. It is a great way to read all about that history you learned in junior high and then immediately deleted to make space in your brain for good dirty hallway jokes. I have felt a real deficiently in my education in the history of my own country, and this book filled in some gaps. Don't get me wrong, it is not an extensive study. It is obviously an overview at best. But if you just want to skim the surface of history (and then move on to The complete Idiot's guide to Understanding Einstein) then this is the book for you.
Rating: 3
Summary: Packed with information, lacking fascination
Comment: The line of "Idiot's" books seems to be aimed for the everyday reader. Unfortunately, this volume falls just short of drawing you in. Peppered with little known facts and anecdotes separated from the text by boxes, Axelrod fills this history book with information. Although this is less intimidating than most history tomes, this idiot wasn't able to read her way through, but found it useful for looking up facts in the index.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Insight into American History
Comment: This book is great for anyone who wants to refresh their US History knowledge. Although we should have learned all this information in grade school, I am sure that we have all forgotten almost everything. This book illustrates everything clearly and is fun to read.
