Recent events made me more curious about us history and this book was helpful to understand a lot about US history.
The book itself is a story, nicely told from the early days of america till the very recent events, in brief, though it doesn't really stress enough on which events deserve more spot lights than the others but still it will help you understand a lot about america as culture and society and different events that shaped them.
