We have a glut of text and trade books on American history. But what we don’t have is a compact, inexpensive, and authoritative book that will offer to American citizens a clear, informative, and inspiring narrative account of their own country. Such an account can shape and deepen their sense of the land they inhabit and, by making them understand that land’s roots, and share in its memories, equip them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society.

I absolutely loved this book. I'm a history enthusiast but I think this book is easily read and engaged with by any human being. It gives a clear, unbiased, and concise history of the United States told as a narrative. I can't put into words what this book made me feel... happy, patriotic, frustrated (if only!), ashamed, hopeful, etc... as I got toward the end, into more current events, I cried several times. Not a blubbering mess, but a few tears of frustration and often of pride. I will recommend this book to everyone I can.
