—Memo Fernandez, Saddleback Community College"Outstanding! As an instructor of basic U.S. history I found this book to be an excellent introductory tool."
—Amy Godfrey, Waubonsee Community College"I love the text! I don't know if I have ever said that about a textbook before, but I love it! The freedom theme allows me to organize the material much more easily."
—Florence May Waldron, University of Wisconsin, River Falls"My students and I very much appreciate the book's useful study tools, from chapter outlines and focus questions to end-of-chapter summaries of key points."
—Dr. Philip C. DiMare, California State University, Sacramento"That a scholar like Eric Foner would agree to do an introductory text is heartening. The volume that he has produced is exceptional. I have used any number of American history texts in my introductory classes, and reviewed many others, and Foner's is without question the very best. The writing is powerful, and the coverage of the material is substantive and yet extremely accessible. My students and I couldn't be more pleased."
