Don't Know Much About American History by Kenneth C. Davis
3.0
Being American, and all, I know I'm not very cognizant of my country's past. At least, that's what I thought. While I don't have dates and names memorized, I was surprised at how much of the information in this book I had remembered from those long ago school days.
This was a nice refresher course, though I felt there were areas that were biased or maybe didn't give a full account of situations. I wish I could remember the spots, exactly, which made me feel this way, but I don't.
I wouldn't use this book to teach American history, but I think it's a fine read for those who just can't remember the particulars or want a nice, quick overview of the last couple hundred years of our country's existence.
