This square-shaped gift book is anything but square when it comes to its political content. In a section on "Villains," the author lists Richard Nixon side-by-side with Jeffrey Dahmer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and William Manson. Our nation's noble attempt to defend South Vietnam is denounced and no mention is made of the Communist genocide in Cambodia or of the Communist's bloody rule in South Vietnam. You won't find any quotes in the book from any Republican after Lincoln. Cocaine dealer Abbie Hoffman is quoted approvingly beside Jefferson, Edison, Lincoln, and Stephen Hawking who I believe is British, not American. And based on the quotes from American Indians, such as Powhatan, you'd think that they were all as innocent as lambs, which is odd considering that he himself kept slaves.

This is a very good book. It has almost anything you are looking for. This is amazingly good for history teachers. My history teacher has this book, and says it's one of the most used books in her room.

This book is really good! Anyone how hates it has no real taste in books. Beautiful pictures, Letters facts, poems, songs, and even parts of documents and books. It's all there in this book! I learned all the parts to some songs people think they are singing the whole song and are really not. So if you want to learn more about Amercia get this book.

This is a very good book. It is very interesting and makes a great resoruce for anyone who likes history. Most history books can't be read by childern but this one can. I don't see anything that kids in grade 3 and up can't read as far as I've seen.
This book is one of the best books ever. That's all that really needs to be said.
