This was excellent reading. Everyone whether an American or not should read this book to better understand a particular time in the history of the United States of America. It is easy to read and understandable.

America, A Narrative History - great pictures and detail - easy to read - well worth adding to your collection. So good that I went on to buy the volume 2, 7th edition (brief version)!!!!

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.

this book is a brief edition and will work. When purchasing a history book watch carefully for brief edition even on matching isbn numbers.

It is a pretty good overall concept of American history. I wouldn't use this to be the definitive version, but is fairly comprehensive. I would suggest this to anyone looking to study on a "College 101" level.

Truly a narrative of American history. I like the way the book reads, however altogether put it is still a history textbook.

i am a junior in college and i have ordered books offline every semester for the past few years. this was by far the smoothest transaction ive ever had.

I received the book very quickly and in the exact condition described before purchasing. I would buy from this seller again, without question.

this book is a great reference if you want to read about american history. another great thing about this book is that it is compact, but contains all the information that you want.

I ordered a book for class and I have not received it and I am two days away from my delivery time. It still states not yet shipped. I have emailed the seller 3 times no response. i ordered other textbooks from other sellers and received them within a week. This is the longest this has ever taken. what the hell?
