Good history book for summer class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was a required reading in a short summer history class. The book reads well and is relatively easy to get through. The chapters are organized into sections based on events, so there were some time jumps that I found confusing, but other than that this was one of the best class books I've had.

Well written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
James A. Henretta and his colleagues have successfully written a concise history book that is not boring or tedious. It offers smooth transitions from topic to topic. It's concise and not boring, not like a tranqualizer like some history texts.
very readable; the narrative flows gracefully
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The authors had a difficult task. To further shorten their other text, "America's History", by almost 50%. Yet they seem to have succeeded. The book has a logical narrative flow. That does not feel like a standard text. Quite expertly done. When you consider that very disparate topics are covered. Like reform in the Progressive Era, or the emergence of the US as a world power. But somehow, each chapter segues gracefully into its successor. The book also starts each chapter with a human interest anecdote. To try and bring the chapter's theme down to an easily comprehensible scale. And thus to motivate the reader into absorbing the broader mass of the chapter. The book is well suited for a general audience.
