A Short History of the United States: From the Arrival of Native American Tribes to the Obama Presidency

The first one I rec'd was a little beat up due to shipping. Amazon sent me another one ASAP & it was in excellent condition. Awesome price. Great book. Have really enjoyed reading it. Got it for a class I'm taking but didn't wait...had to start reading it...Would recommend this book to others such as history buffs & students.

I enjoyed reading this concise history of the US. Well written book with focus on important local and international events.

Robert Remini's Short History of the US lives up to the publisher's blurb: "an objective narrative of the nation's history ..." and – through a lively, erudite style of writing, it is indeed "fact-crammed" ... and with reliable facts. In short, a most welcome addition to so much else of contemporary writing of history.

lo recomiendo. Mi hijo lo leyo y esta increíble!! Lo recomiendo 👍

Came faster then stayed, and it was wrapped well. The cover didn't have a scach.

The book is very biased. It’s written concisely and is easy to read. However, while reading, it’s hard to separate facts from the author’s personal opinion, therefore, the book may be mistakenly perceived as some kind of textbook. It is not. It’s just an opinion, quite controversial in some parts.

Great Book! Really does a good job of condensing the important points in U.S. History. From the Founding of the Americas to the Battle of Saratoga, this book does has all the things you need to know about the U.S. Remini does a good job of keeping an unbiased history and helps the reader chronologically process the information printed within the book.

I wanted to read a very well written and "brief" history of our country. Mr Remini is such a good writer any way so I decided to get this book. It was not boring and was written for someone like me who needs to read something that will keep my interest.

I do highly recommend this amazing book: every chapter is so well written that I felt myself directly into those historical events. The author, a former professor of American History at the University of Illinois, has deep knowledge in the matter, but doesn't use difficult terms just to show his culture: he teaches history to anyone who would like to know more about it.I'll keep this book on my best shelf at home, so everyone can see it and maybe ask me about it...and I'll tell to buy it on Amazon asap!

interesting!

Very readable, loved it.I will re-read it when we return to the US

Ciertamente, A Short History of the United States no es un libro al que acudirías para aprender en gran detalle la historia de los Estados Unidos de América. El libro se divide en capítulos que abarcan diferentes periodos del país, desde sus inicios más remotos hasta principios del siglo XXI. Está estructurado de buena manera, es muy fácil de leer, el lenguaje que utiliza es muy ameno y el libro se hace interesante porque siempre ofrece la sensación de aprender algo nuevo que no sabías o recordabas.La razón por la que digo que no lo escogería para estudiar la historia con detalle es porque obviamente, abarcar tantos años de historia en un libro de menos de 400 páginas, es meramente imposible. Lo recomendaría para aquellos que quieran aprender por primera vez la historia del país, para poder repasar acontecimientos específicos o como introducción para un estudio más serio. En general, me ha parecido un libro buenísimo para tal propósito y lo recomiendo con creces.

What a wonderful book!
