There are about eighty American History topics covered. The selection of topics is very wide and all interesting pieces of how this country got to this place. The book is a collection of paraphrased interviews of authors. You get a good thumb nail view of all of the books. There is a wealth of information, macro and micro, on all of the topics. It was fun, interesting and long. Because it is history it is not dated but it does not cover recent events after late 2001. ( ) Though I didn't agree with all the essays in this book especially the one regarding President Lincoln Freeing the slaves so that they would all go back home to Africa. This is historically inaccurate and moraly repulsive. There were a number of reasons that the President wanted to abolish slavery; that was not one of them. This collection (3rd in the series of Booknotes titles) of seventy-eight interviews from the founding C-Span CEO and author http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1760546 provides chapter summaries of seminal events in American history. Contemporary writers and historians focus on a moment or event(s) in history that influenced and shaped our country.
