Just to clarify, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It’s a fantastic telling of our country’s history through a lens that doesn’t get used very much. The reason I only score it three stars is because after WWII, the author just starts complaining nonstop about the lack of distance between the modern two political parties. I don’t disagree with his critiques but he makes the same argument ad nauseam for the last 1/3 (approximately 8 hours) of the book and I wish he had focused on other aspects of that time period.

Very interesting and informative but also slow and dry. Difficult to get into.
Felt too text book like, a bit of a slog
It took me five months to read the book, but it wasn't because it was uninteresting. I loved the book and what it attempted to do in changing the narrative around how we learn about history. I look forward to reading the other books that were inspired by this one.
I rate simply: 5 = liked it, 3 = meh, and 1 = didn't like it.
