America: A Narrative History (Brief Eighth Edition) (Vol. 2)

Customer Reviews:

A wonderful resource

By Daniel Andrews - April 15, 2000

Tindall, in his 5th edition of this superb text, provides a quintessential guide to American history. Useful for late High School and underclassmen University courses in United States History, Tindall offers plenty of "raw" history. Analytical comment is kept to a minimum, to allow the reader or student to explore on his or her own. One hopes that the lack of primary sources or analytical material in Tindall's text will lead readers to seek out other sources before drawing their own conclusions.Tindall and his co-author, David Shi, do NOT provide a one-stop, all-you-need-to-know guide to US history. Instead, they provide the framework around which one can begin to shape one's own opinions. As one who studied from Tindall as a student and now teaches from Tindall in a private school, I applaud his successful effort once again.

Pretty Interesting for a textbook

By A Customer - April 15, 2000

This is the textbook used by my AP US history class, and it is actually rather interesting. It is in depth (it covers everything from pre-Columbus to today's political/social scene), well-written, and has sometimes useful chapter overview sections at the beginning and end of each chapter. The information contained is pretty liberal, which improves coverage of political scams and scandals, women, minorities, and the arts. However, sometimes I wish it was a little more neutral in its outlook; conservative political groups are often portrayed as "yuckier" than liberal groups. Still, I think that this book is a good resource that tells some of the grittier details of American history.

THE BOOK for any AP US History exam

By K. Nandy - May 1, 2000

My AP US History class used this book as its textbook. Statistics speak for themselves: anyone who read and studied the book got a 5! It is one of the most comprehensive texts in American history ever published. George Tindall, the primary author, is a wonderful and knowledgable man who I have met in Chapel Hill,NC. An excellent buy!
