MUST HAVE!!!

This book is a definite must have!!! There is, at least, a brief overview of every topic covered in American History beginning with the end of the civil war. It makes for a great reference for those classes that consist of 100% lecture and tests. Of course, if the lecture comes straight from the book then you will need it too however, many applications can be made towards this book.

American Destiny, the one and only history book you will ever need

I could not be any happier with a purchase unless it was not a purchase but a free gift. Completely accurate information provided and less time to arrive than promised. This is the way to go in your book purchases. I saved over $60. That is why I am compelled to write this review. Freddie C. TN

Required, but surprising great book!

This book took me by surprise. It is a wonderfully written book that brig history alive and gives it relevance. I found myself reading this book long after the course I took was over. I highly recommend this as a great book for people who want to learn America's history without being bored to tears with some of those other terrible history books. This one is really a stand out, and in a category of its own. Great book.
