5.0 out of 5 stars
Great comprehensive overview,
This review is from: United States History: 1500 to 1789 (Essentials) (Paperback)
I bought all 6 of the Essentials of US History both to prepare for a state test and to use in the high school classes I'll be teaching. The books do an excellent job of creating a framework that clearly ties US events to the larger world stage. Unlike most history books that weigh the reader down in details, these concise books emphasize cause and effect. The reader is able to retain much more information because history is made a logical process rather than bits to be memorized.
