I decided to read U.S. History for Dummies by Steve Wiegand because I am sad how much I've forgotten since taking American history classes in school. I wanted a refresher/summary and thought this would be a good way to do it. The book flows chronologically and just glazes over the main events and people in the history of our country.
I thought this fulfilled my purpose in getting the book. It helped me identify some areas of US history that I'm particularly interested in reading a more substantial nonfiction book about. It wasn't a boring read, and I got a good summary.
Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
I get sad a lot about forgetting U.S. history, too. Maybe I should read a book.
