Witty and engaging; Not your usual textbook

Joseph R. Conlin has managed to produce a college textbook that provides more than the usual dry recitation of information. His intelligent sense of humor and subtle wit make each chapter an engaging read, and make this nation's history come to life, peopled with characters that you would love to meet. Mr. Conlin also goes to great lengths to ensure that the history revealed is not just from the white, European perspective. Native American and African-American stories and influence are interwoven, as are the stories of the many other cultures who have contributed to our nation's heritage. While many might groan at the thought of reading an entry-level survey textbook for pleasure, Mr. Conlin's efforts make the read an enjoyable introduction to our nation's colorful history.
