Summary: U.S. History for Dummies
Review: This book was more of a fun fact book than a history book. The author fills the book with information not relevant to important history, and skimps on the important stuff. I wouldn't reccomend this book to anyone over the age of 10!

Summary: U.S. History for DUMMIES by Steve Wiegand
Review: This is U.S. History in a nutshell! Focusing on the most important details of our History, Steve Wiegand has compacted centuries of information into 360 pages. Interspersed with the well-researched information are sometimes humorous, and sometimes amazing, tidbits of little-known facts about events, Presidents, and personalities that have shaped our country.(Did you know that "Uncle Sam" was really Sam Wilson of Arlington,Massachusetts ?) Serving principally as a reference book rather than a textbook, I found myself reading this book as if it were a novel. Rarely does one sit down and read a History book from cover to cover as I did with U.S. History for DUMMIES. Each chapter had some topic that drew me on with interest. Mr Wiegand's style and sly-humor are an easy read. In addition, some valuable reference tools are included in the Appendices. I highly recommend this book for Educators, History buffs and all general interest readers.
