Don't Know Much About History
Don't Know Much About History
Everything You Need to Know about American History But Never Learned
Short review: History is important and many people do not know much about history. If you are one of these people this single volume, easy to read history of the US is worth the time. I listened to it on audiobook, but it might be better in paper, not because the narration is bad, but because the narrator reads the timeline at the end of each section and most people would get that info better visually reading rather than listening. There are several versions of this book. Originally it was written in 1986 but it has been updated to inclue recent info a couple of times. I read the 2003 version that went through the 2000 presidential election.
