America: The Last Best Hope (Volume I) : From the Age of Discovery to a World at War
reviewed on + 63 more book reviews


A very well written book of our American history from 1492-1914 and told in such a way as to keep the reader's attention. Not boring as one would suppose in dealing with history but told in a narrative sense as to connect us with the happenings. Bennett deals with the triumphs and tragedies in a balanced way. A lot of interesting facts and stories not normally told. Well worth the read.
