  • I'm not a history buff but this book is something else.

    I'm not a history fanatic I don't like history but this book has me glued to the pages. If you really want to learn the true history of the states. If you want to learn of the current status co of the US and its politics read this. If you want to understand the importance of unions read this, international affairs, the importance of public criticism. This book covers so many topics I can bet you will use this book for reference in the future.
