American Revolutionary war history books bring to life the heroic struggles and battles of the American colonies. Lots of people think that learning U.S. history is a punishment. It's a subject you had to take in school. You memorized a bewildering array of dates, absorbed definitions for terms like Manifest Destiny, and wondered if America really needed two presidents named Harrison. Historical figures were presented to you as if they were characters in a junior high school costume pageant, with their blemishes airbrushed out and personalities drained away in stodgy history textbooks.

Format: Soft Cover, 408 pages, 7 3/8 x 9 1/4 inches
Author: Steve Wiegand
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
Date Published: February 2001

History textbooks often overlook the fascinating moments of history. They present U.S. history as something dry and distant, all events and facts, and don't focus on what is really is: The story of Americans. It's the story of people - what they thought, did, and tried to do as they struggled to build a nation.

U.S. History For Dummies is not a textbook. It focuses on people - famous, infamous, and obscure. This book gives you a basic foundation of information about the history of the United States. Students and teachers can use it as a friendly, easy-to-understand overview of U.S history, and history buffs can use it as a reference to look up important facts, to settle debates, and to store up ammunition for future conversations with a know-it-all brother-in law!

Here's just a sampling of the topics covered in U.S. History For Dummies:

Pre-Columbus: The earliest Native Americans
The settling of the Pilgrims and the expansion toward the West
The American Revolution and the establishment of a new government
How the most influential presidents governed the nation
The Civil War and the abolishment of slavery
The development of modern industry
Two World Wars and a Great Depression
America matures through tragedy: The Kennedy Assassination, the Vietnam War, and Watergate

U.S. History For Dummies also includes Top Ten lists covering the best - and worst - presidents, inventions that changed the world, and events that defined American culture.
