Summary: Better than you might think
Review: Amazing, non-orthodox book on US history. This enjoyable, fun and easy reading is full of interesting facts. It shrinks US history down to 100 nutshells which are like reading history between the lines, probably the history most americans don't know. This is an excellent complement to any formal history book. The fresh approach offers excellent culture and, why not?, entertainment. You should not miss it.

Summary: A unique way to learn American history! Bravo!
Review: American History in 100 nutshells is a fascinating read for increasing knowledge of American history with new insight and fun! This book is truly an enjoyable read. The format is very unusal and exciting. Mr. Tuleja presents the reader with 100 thoughts and phrases and explains the circumstances of each passage. Each "nutshell" is presented in a chronological order. The read is fast, entertaining, at times quirky. When you get your hands on this novel approach to history, you'll discover the history behind such sayings as: the shot heard round the world, our country right or wrong, to the victor belongs the spoils, John Brown's body lies a 'mouldering in the grave, and much more. I wish my father could have seen this book! He would have loved it!

Summary: Useful for anyone!
Review: This is a great book that will make history easily accessible and enjoyable.The book breaks 100 key events into easy to read passages summarizing key points in a most readable fashion. So many of us, unfortunately, learned hisotry from notes copied off of the board in a high school classroom. This makes the things that we should remember (Little Big Horn, Stamp Act etc) more entertaining. One reason why this book is great for individuals who already like US history is the collection of fun facts at the end of each segment. Worth owning as both a reference book and a fun read!
