The Life History of the United States breaks the last 200 years into 12 epochs and discusses the events of that era. I read one of these, and it was pretty good, but they are kind of dated now.
Watch out, though; there was a set of these printed with nice, red leather-like covers with little American flags on the front and there was a set with regular cardboard covers and dust jackets published for 'subscribers'. It looks to me like the subscribers got shafted; you'll want to make sure all of your books match.
I've heard from a few people and it looks like the tan covers with no dust jackets are the originals and they came with LP's with music and sounds from each specific era. Looks like they're both pretty nice. |
