4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable quick read
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017

A succinct rendering of the history of early America. A quick read ...well written with many interesting factoids that highlight this great story. Many Americans view the Revolutionary War as something that was inevitable including the outcome. The author dispels the reader of this notion highlighting many significant events in American colonial history that could have turned out differently. The book is just detailed enough to hold one's interest throughout and provides a good overview of the period. I have seen some criticisms that the book covers no new ground ...maybe for people who are active historians ... but this is the kind of book that all Americans interested in how we became a country should read. I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

As an Indian studying in the USA, I would always wonder how significant is American history. That's why I chose this book and I learnt quite a lot about how an entire country was established which is such a great nation now. Sometimes the book became boring with unnecessary details but overall it is okay to get the basics of the way the United States was born.

A good book if you're looking for a quick, high level overview of early American history. Several topics are glazed over (slave trade) or not covered at all (Salem witch trials), though most other key topics are included.

Good, but in my mind would have been better if there was more detail, and a little less jumping around the timeline. But really a good summary.

I really enjoyed this book. I was not a fan of history in school and remember very little of what they tried to teach. This book helped me to learn, at this stage of life, what many of my ancestors went through to settle and establish our great country of America. Very well written.

Okay. It's a very basic and easy read, but not a lot of 'meat' to the history. Good for a first timer, and a few interesting tidbits, but it felt a little light overall.

This is a quick read on early American history giving the reader a nice broad history lesson without getting bogged down in the minute detail of every battle. I learned a lot from this book, and liked the fact the author wrote in a completely neutral manner. From here, a reader can pick the parts of history they want to delve into more and look for more-detailed books on the subjects that interest them the most.

Was OK as far as it goes. Reads like a high school history text. Doesn't delve enough into details to suit me.
