Resumen del Editor

American history is a living, breathing thing that is always evolving and growing, with new chapters taking shape as we speak.

Today, America is revered throughout the world as a global superpower, a model of democracy, and the kind of country that all nations should aspire to emulate. How did it get there? And how did it acquire this reputation?

Over the decades, millions of people have left their homelands to immigrate to America in search of the American dream. This is quite fitting given how the country came to be—13 misfit colonies that banded together to unite as one nation.

This audiobook delves into the most significant moments of America’s history, from the arrival of the first colonists all the way to the 21st century.

For those who are interested in learning about America, this is a great introductory audiobook. It should whet your appetite to learn more. This detailed guide is an easy-to-follow, concise audiobook providing a comprehensive understanding of America’s roots and how it came to be the superpower it is today.

In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:

• The early explorers of the Americas.

Extremely Biased and Left leaning

This "American History" book is very biased, which was most apparent during the sections about the republican presidents. Most of the negative comments about republican presidents were untrue and highly inflammatory. It also smoothed over(or didn't even cover) some negative events and policies brought forth from democrat presidents. Read only if you want propaganda spewed to you like you get from CNN every day.

Biased view of American History!

If you like the view the history of America like the liberal media does, this book is for you. I prefer my history that sticks with the facts and does not try to indoctrinate people.
