My son uses it in 8th grade, and being a historian myself I checked the book out. The foreign policy part would have needed an editor with background knowledge. Especially galling was p. 754 in which the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union gets dispatched in 3 (!) sentences, (while Hitler gets several pages) two of the three saying that "Stalin executed his rivals, ordered the deaths of thousands suspected of supporting his rivals, and sent millions of Russians to labor camps. He also reorganized the nation's economy, forcing millions of people onto government-owned farms." (p. 754)....

Actually, he had at least 2 million suspected of supporting his opponents executed, and millions of peasants (estimates range to 10 million) liquidated by execution, hunger and in the GULAG during collectivization. Estimates by Robert Conquest, J. Rummel and others range from 20 to 40 million overall killed by Stalin, with most killed before 1940, which is the time period covered in the "rise of dictators" section--and not "thousands." The short part given to Stalin is not only mendacious towards the victims, but also skews these students understanding of Europe in the 1930s, and the true nature of FDR's friend "Uncle Joe"-- which perhaps is the rationale behind this mendacious falsification. There are other events in Europe in the 19th and 20th century covered in a cartoonish and simpleton way. Hopefully teachers will use their own judgment and add additional material.

The book is not really written by the historians listed as authors and gets many things wrong, such as secession.

Really good condition, hard cover as promesed, gently used and taken care of.
Worth the time to search for it; specialy because the price compered to a new one was almost 90% less.

This is NOT a text. There are many reviews that this is a text. It is not. It is a very small book with about 40 pages of activities. It appears to go with some kind of text. This I am not sure of. I purchased this item based on reviews. I was disappointed, thinking I had found (based on reviews) a great text. So just want to warn future buyers. If you are however looking for a small paperback packet this is it.

I was disappointed in the fact that this is a 2004 edition, but that is my fault for not reading carefully. History is history and hopefully not much has changed. This book will be donated to the library at the end of the year because it is still a great reference book.

A Kid's Review on November 16, 2004
Format: Hardcover
This book has a lot of information about the U.S. history. IT had documents, like the Declaration of Independence, The MAyflower Compact, etc. I think you can find ample information with this great heavy book of such numerous answers to questions you have on American history.
