Contemporary writers and historians examine specific events that have shaped American history, from the Boston Tea Party to the final days of the first Bush administration.
This is an excellent book. There are about eighty American History topics covered. The selection of topics is very wide and all interesting pieces of how this country got to this place. The book is a collection of paraphrased interviews of authors. You get a good thumb nail view of all of the books. There is a wealth of information, macro and micro, on all of the topics. It was fun, interesting and long. Because it is history it is not dated but it does not cover recent events after late 2001. ( )
Though I didn't agree with all the essays in this book especially the one regarding President Lincoln Freeing the slaves so that they would all go back home to Africa. This is historically inaccurate and moraly repulsive. There were a number of reasons that the President wanted to abolish slavery; that was not one of them. ( )
