"Pretty darn good! I've used it three times, and I like the maps, organization, and especially the biographies. The book contains what I want to cover. Good coverage of New Deal and World War II."
"I've been using the text for two years and love it. This is the best book I've ever used teaching U.S. history. It brings everything together--the culture of the times, boxed bios, plus I show movies. Very user friendly, easy to read."
"I really like all the pictures, and because I'm a historical biographer, I also like the boxes. Good maps. Good cultural/social coverage, rather than just the political. Our survey course is broken into thirds, but the text is useful no matter how much of it I cover."
