Highly recommended! This book is like a Cliff Notes on American history, informed by contemporary scholarship, and written in a creative way that showcases how interesting and relevant our history is to us today. It was refreshing to read the well documented tales of our past in the context of the tales we are writing even now in our severely dysfunctional government, top to bottom. While there is hope in knowing we have been bad (and worse) on a regular basis over the history of our nation, it is also depressing that we are once again regressing into the worst we have been. Sad but true. Wake up Americans!
