Synopsis
Presented in a user-friendly format, this comprehensive history of America fills in the gaps that we all have, and breaks some new ground, too. Starting off each topic with a string of questions--there are no bad questions, of course, and many of them are interesting--Davis provides insightful reports on key events and personalities from Columbus through modern times. Davis is a good explainer, breaking things down into digestible bits and offering interesting details, and he debunks some cherished myths that belong back in high school. He makes history come alive, especially through his creatively selected "American Voices," which extract direct quotes from primary sources to give an interesting flavor to many of his topics.
