Customer Reviews

Review the evidence yourself

This history textbook contains the actual source material from the period. As a result, you get to review that source material and come to your own conclusions. I consider this method to be superior to the distorted views filled with bias that are normally presented in texts on history. If you are interested in American history, get this book and its companion. Both were very good.
