What a fantastic way to get the best of history highlights in short chapters. It was my assigned text book for an upper division history class and could not have been more pleased to have this book as the guide.

Skip all the other figure/picture/table American history textbooks--simply interruptions to reading. Pics, charts, and other superfluous graphics are sparse in this elegant volume, and to good effect. Beautiful discussion of U.S. history. Should be the standard textbook, rather than the typical backbreakers that are. It's been some time since the eighth edition, and perhaps, the authors of the eighth ed. should get back together, or the publishers at Ivan R. Dee should assemble a team for update, though it must be said, that the eighth edition is fantastic, and should stand the test of time.

This book came in as I had expected it too be as well as on time! Very happy with this purchase!!
