This is a book on the history of the United States. On the cover it reads: "Everything you need to know about American history but never learned", and that pretty much says it all.

A great book, that provides a good introduction to the history of the US. It gave me a better insight in what happened when, and the major events in the last few hundred years. From Columbus to the Revolutionary War, Civil War to Wilson, Kennedy, Nixon and Bush.

The author is a bit left-wing, but never intrusive or too partisan, except perhaps in the last two chapters (on Bush, Clinton and Bush Jr).
