The content of this book is derived primarily from first-person narratives and other primary source historical documents. These writings offer the reader a great deal to consider when thinking about the role of Americans in history. The narratives are moving and thought provoking, and really force the reader to reconsider what it really means to be an American. Questions abound about why we aren't told these stories in school, particularly regarding the role this country has played in the lives of other nations. A real "based on a true story" book!

This text was listed as in 'good' condition, as were the other items I purchased from you (about 4 others). However, I have received the order and this text is in 'poor' to 'bad' condition. The actual book is being held together with clear tape and there is an excessive amount of highlighting/marking throughout. I only note this one, because the others books I received listed in 'good' condition were not nearly in this condition, they were as described, with very light/minimal markings. Had I known this, I would have opted to not purchase the item. I don't like to get books with heavy markings, as this makes it more difficult to read/concentrate. More of an effort should have been made to correctly list this text, as now I am stuck with it and don't have time to purchase another one before the start of class. I would not have paid any money for this book if I had seen it before hand.

I am very pleased with my purchase, I will use Amazon.com in the very near future for my textbook needs; the quality and the price was right in my budget. Thank you.

I used this book about four years ago in an upper-division college course and really enjoyed it. However, I see that the paperback version now costs well over $60. Not sure why the price of the book increased so dramatically. However, because of the cost, I will not use it for my class in the spring.

This book was required for my history class, no complaints so far, we shall see as the semester goes on.

Thank you so much for the fast shipping and for working around the snow. It was nice doing business with you!
