America has sold more than 1.8 million copies over the past eight editions because it's a book that students enjoy reading. Effective storytelling, colorful anecdotes, and biographical sketches make the narrative absorbing and the material more memorable. The Ninth Edition includes refreshed and updated coverage of African American history and has been streamlined from 37 to 34 chapters.Tags

This was the textbook for my American History class, but it was extremely readable and made the subject matter very interesting and accessible.
This is the 4th edition. A seeming thorough, fair, and objective look at the history of America from the migration from Asia to 1995. They have an 11th edition in 2 vols. with a publication date of 2019, which I am thinking of buying. This is an excellent history, well worth the expense.
I have a large collection of historical books that are considered either 'classics' or are just informational texts to inform us more of history (or to provide context, etc. etc). This is just one of those!
Excellent overview for the uninitiated.
