This review is from: America: A Narrative History (Brief Seventh Edition) (Vol. 1) (Paperback)
This book is great for APUSH. It is concise, succinct and covers all sides of the political and economic spectrum with an equal and fair balance. Usually tomes as this (both volumes come to over 1200 pages) in trying to stay unbiased, tend to be dry and a sure cure for severe insomnia. This book though holds ones attention in it's novel type format. I had two 13 year old students last year that were not quite the sharpest tools in the box, BUT they could not put it down when I assn'd them a chapter of it for make up work. Again, I highly recommend this book to HS History teachers to use in lieu of those ghastly textbooks that are more geared to weightlifting class and a good night's sleep rather than to true enjoyment of history as an entertaining pastime as this Narrative does.
