Great book! Only reason it didn't get five stars is because the dialects of english trhough out time were neat but made it hard to understand what was being pointed out. It is great to read each chapter after reading a couple chapter from " A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES."It is a must read for millennials!
It took me a few months to finish this book. Some stories were very graphic and it took a few days for me to overcome those stories. Incredible library of speeches, letters and documented historical events. Before you vote in 2016 please read this compilation of history.
Receive it in good quality. Nothing seems missing from it . Hopefully I enjoy it. Purchased it for school work but I am a big reader so I'll end up reading it full.
The sheer volume of information is incredible. One of the best books out there.
Neat to read the people's stories - that's where the real history is.
Wonderful reference book. Delicious nectar for the grass roots This should required reading in schools and colleges.
Got info that I was looking for.
WONDER and recommended for all!
