From 1607 to 1877!

An absolute "sleeper," this book is a definite "Must-Have" for any serious student/teacher/professor/researcher/grad student of U.S. history. "Overview" hardly captures it!The comprehensiveness is extraordinary. Nearly a period of three hundred years in one neat volume!This book is especially highly recommended for European or Asian researchers of U.S. history, as well as exchange students and first-time foreign students in the USA. Winston Churchill could have well used a book like this one when he wrote his famous volumes about America. Pity he didn't have it at hand at that time, as he was making history himself.
