This was a good book as far as history goes. It was a little confusing as far as how it jumped from one point in time to the next and back again. If someone is unfamiliar with history, this could be very confusing as far as trying to follow what happened during a particular decade or time period. It could be laid out a bit more succinctly.
It was a book that was easy to read and keep the readers attention for the most part. The book is somewhat biased in the events of history in some cases. It portrays America and it founding as a somewhat peaceful time in history when that just was not the case.
