Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Let's put this on the table straight away: The purpose of this audiobook is not to entertain but to inform. The production is a clear, neatly packaged history of our nation from its early days through post-Civil War Reconstruction. As such, Jeff Riggenbach's narration reflects the structured, easy-to-understand presentation of dates, events, and people. Listeners should also be aware that this audiobook provides little amplification of historical background information-at the beginning of each topic (or chapter), only a brief overview is given about the facts that are about to be presented. Overall, Riggenbach presents the information in a deep tone and exacting cadence that make this fact-filled audiobook an easy listen. J.P.D. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

This review is from: American History, 1877 to the Present (Barron's EZ-101 Study Keys) (Paperback)
This handy little book helped highlight topics to help study for the CLEP American History II exam. I highly suggest that you pair this with a textbook to get more in depth. It is certainly not enough on it's own. Great way to stay to focus on appropriate topics which are part of the exam.

This review is from: American History, 1877 to the Present (Barron's EZ-101 Study Keys) (Paperback)
I bought this book along with "American History to 1877" for the AP History exam. There is not enough information to learn all about the history, but these books are great for reviewing. They cover briefly most of the historical events and figures, and are organized so you can find the information quickly.
