Definitely a must-read for anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the United States. I know they recently released a YA version of this, and I'd be interested in seeing how they changed it for that. Would definitely be a good addition to an American history class.

The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

Fairly academic. The author's argument is well-made, and I learned so many things that should have been covered in U.S. history courses.
