 Great book! February 10, 2010

Excellent book and serves as a nice counter-balance to the Howard Zinn, left leaning, America-is-always-wrong historical perspectives that have been the dominate narrative for years. I highly recommend this book.
 Not History, this is Political Ramblings February 10, 2010

I despise books that are disguised as history. This is only vaguely history, or actually it is reshaping history to fit a current agenda. Don't be fooled, have the intelligence to see the difference between genuine history and political hackery disguised as history.

 History from a Pro-America Point of View December 31, 2009

In today's environment, it is refreshing to find an account of U.S. history that does not portray America as the villain. Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen, in "A Patriot's History of the United States", tell the in-depth story of America from 1492 through the early years of the twenty-first century.
In more than 800 pages, the two authors cover all of the important topics of American history, from our independence and founding, through our westward expansion and modernization, including examination of religion, politics, race and gender relations, social trends, military history, and technological breakthroughs. The drawback of the book is that the authors do get a few dates wrong. On the whole, though, this work is a great history of America and would be enjoyed by anyone who believes that this country is not evil, but is the greatest nation the world has ever known.

This book is great. It's enormous (over 900 pgs.) so it might have to be digested slowly but it's worth it. I'm a patriot and am glad to finally have a book that doesn't make me feel bad about being an American. This book actually shows the positive things our founding fathers did (a novelty compared to many of the other history books.) It contains all the information the other books have (minus the tendency toward revisionism) but goes beyond, including things the more left-leaning tomes avoid. Recommended as a gift for history buffs and home schooling. Children who read this will gain the information that is taught in public schools but will also learn all the things the schools omit. Highly Reccomended.
