This review is from: The Great American Citizenship Quiz: Revised and Updated (Paperback)
I got this book because I want to learn american history and can rarely retain this info. It was presented in easy-reading style with interesting trivia. Books like this generally don't hold my interest long, but I'm enjoying reading this, and actually retaining some of the information.

Citizenship Quiz is out-of-date,

This review is from: The Great American Citizenship Quiz: Revised and Updated (Paperback)
I knew that "Great American Citizenship Quiz" was out-of-date because the World Trade Center was given as the tallest building in the world. It no longer exists. It has little interesting value.
