Summary: it was good for what i needed it for
Comment: i needed the book for a project and it really helped me for that particular reason. the content was full of interesting and helpful facts pertaining to the history of the united states. i was looking for a book of this exact format, one that was not too long but still held all the important information i sought out. i was looking for a book that would still leave me time for everything else in my busy schedule, yet still provide me with all the great info. i am definatly not a college student, which is for whom the book was made. but i found that it still helped me out quite a bit. so if u have a project or if you just plain are interested in learning the history of your country, i would reccomend this book. Reeves is a great author for a younger people as well.

Summary: 100 years in 300 pages
Comment: Kirkus acts as if Reeves' book is biased, when it is clear ITS' critic has the ax to grind. The book is actually noteworthy for its objectivity - impossible in any written history - but this may be as close as it gets. Try to sum up 100 years of dynamic history in 300 pages sometime. Reeves has done an exemplary job.

Summary: Solid History Solidly Told
Comment: The first thing I wanted to know, after reading this fine book, was who in the hell reviewed it for Kirkus and how often do they let him out of the state hospital to rant and rave like that. The hatchet job done by the Kirkus review of Reeves fine study seems unethical and self-indulgent. Somebody remind that writer that the 60s are over. Reeves' view of the 50s is hardly unconventional. As for Rosa Parks, in the 50s she felt confident enough to stay in her seat on that Birmingham Bus and the boycott ended in integration of the bus system. Brown vs. Board of Education was in the 50s, a polio cure was found, and on and on. This is a noteworthy and highly readable and provocative book.
