A history of the United States, brief but comprehensive, from continental drift to human settlement to the development of a unique government. The history follows the expansion of the new country, the growth of its economy, and its emergence on the world stage. By the author of "The Reopening of the American Mind On Skepticism and Constitutionalism."
A Very Brief History Of The USA For Those Who Never Got Around To It Before eBook James W Vice
Many American historians who teach U.S. history eschew the two volume surveys in favor of their own interest areas such as Age of Jackson or Gilded Age. The student is left quite often in an historical void--not having a clue as to what came before and what resulted from the specific period. This little volume would help mightily in filling the considerable gaps.Vice presents succinct and remarkably comprehensive chronological chapters that build upon their past. He is a master at summarizing where the controversies lie and the prevailing views of academic historians (which of course we shall see used later by the best-selling popularizers of those original monographs).
This volume would prove invaluable as an introductory reading for any historical period course.

A Very Brief History Of The USA For Those Who Never Got Around To It Before eBook James W Vice Reviews
Almost as much time spent on ancient geology as the American 20th century. The author seemed to have run out of gas at the end.
An easy to read primer with more objectivity than I expected. Many suggestions for further reading I will be seeing the author this coming weekend.
Another "read", and my conclusion, a definite starting point for the young mind to gain an overview of the provided history.
However, that same young mind is almost totally lacking knowledge of any detailed economic values that prompted most of history.
The author's next book might delve into this problem and enlighten youth of the major driving force in history.
