Customer Reviews

Primary Sources is an interesting/refreshing approach to history

It is nice to see history through the eyes of the people who lived it. I prefer the personal touch of primary sources to traditionally dry textbook accounts. I don't think it is a book designed to teach history by itself, but should be used in conjunction with lectures/discussions with the professor (as Perry Rogers PhD does in his classes). Rogers is an historian, not a politician. The beauty of Rogers' approach is that he allows his readers MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS by giving us competing ideas from many points of view.
