Rating:
Summary: This is NOT leisure reading.
Review: As a parent of four children, it's refreshing to see a review book for a standardized test that doesn't try to beat, chat, and manipulate. These two scholars give fresh insights into historical problems while presenting students with a treasure chest of primary source material. This book deserves to be in every American history classroom in the United States!

Summary: The proof is in the pudding
Review: My high school history teacher recommended this book to me to help prepare for the AP exam. While using it, I learned how to analyze primary sources and write essays based on evidence, not generalizations.

I credit my AP score to this book! (It was a five.) It will help lots!

Summary: A Resource Source
Review: We use this book at the local community college because it helps students distinguish between primary and secondary sources, historical fact and historical opinion. It is the richest collection of documents about major historical topics that I have been able to find. Each collection is compact and concise and makes for rich class discussion and writing assignments.

It has become an indispensable tool in our History department.
