Review from 2013:
Middle School US History covering 1945-2009. I learned a lot from this one. I've heard about the Vietnam War and Korean War but never had any inkling as to what they were really about. It's nice to at least have a basic understanding of them now and to have a better grasp on who the presidents were between Roosevelt and Kennedy and then Carter who is the first president I remember. It was even more interesting reading her take on the times of my childhood and now my adulthood. I thought that while fairly simplistic, she did a decent job of trying to present a rounded perspective. It's definitely been opening some dialog in my house and that is never a bad thing.
Yeah, it was a good refresher on those subjects. Made even more interesting because I was also reading high school American History this year and of course, this is really where they finally intercept and this one is much more in depth in a lot of ways.
