5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, September 30, 2007

By	E. McFarland (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great teaching tool. History becomes alive. It begins by explaining what was the general mood of the country and why. In light of the events which followed for that year, it was insightful.
