If you have been waiting for the right book to help you understand periods of history; you don't need to wait any longer! Allen F. Davis and Harold D. Woodman have edited the perfect compilation of essays for any one to garnish their knowledge of American History.The essays begin from the era of Reconstruction and end with essays that debating about what conflicts exist within society in the 90s. Each essay is by prominent historians who write about their specialized field.It is very interesting and rewarding to read. The sections encourage critical reading because they are structured in eras with 2 or 3 essays that often provide conflicting viewpoints. This makes the reader actively assimilate what is being discussed.The essays are not overly pretentious in intellectual nature, however, it does require a previous knowledge of the historical events surrounding the topics of the essays.
