Review of book required for graduate class

Book was required for History of Education class in Special Ed Masters program. A clear and concise book for relating the issues and background surrounding American history from the colonial times until the present. Wish I had this book when having to take undergraduate classes on the history of education. I would highly recommend this book for college classes or as an additional source of information.
