U.S. History: 1865 Through the 20th Century (Sparknotes 101)

The textbook for my college US history 1 and 2 classes (same teacher) was just horrible, it was designed to read more like a book and always jump around different time frames. The Sparknotes 101 - US History is EASILY much better than the textbook we used and at a fraction of the price (textbook $50, sparknotes $15 or less) It outlines in robust detail each topic and has main points and important figures bolded. If you're taking any US History class I highly recommend checking this book out, buying it was by far the best decision for my class and I passed both classes with A's.
