Wonder why Israel and the Palestinians just can't seem to get along? It's all in here. Written and edited by top students at one of the most respected high schools, The Best American History Book in the World is packed full of valuable charts, original illustrations, and clear summaries that will help you become a U.S. history expert.All royalties from the sale of this book will be given to a student chosen charity dedicated to improving the health and welfare of children.

Reader Reviews
Sorry to rain on the parade, but somebody's got to tell the truth about this book. It's written by a bunch of high school students, and it shows. The high school history teacher, Eric Burnett, did not even bother editing this book; there are countless annoying grammar and factual errors. Perhaps Mr. Burnett simply asked his students' permission to publish their history homework essays. What's next? High school music teachers selling CDs of recorded band performances, or drama teachers selling DVDs of high school Shakespeare productions? The student writers are obviously enthused about the material, which is great, but they are simply too glib to make this book of any real use to anybody, except as an example of bad history writing. Here's a sample: "His wife died in 1480 in childbirth, which was very sad and depressing for our friend Columbus so he decided to make himself rich and famous and go find the Indies." If you're looking for a fun and readable history of America aimed at younger students, take a look at Joy Hakim's "A History of US." In fairness I should point out Mr. Burnett's claim that all royalties from the sale of this book go to charity, and I applaud him for that. But he would sell more books and raise more money if it were better written!
