Required book for my class so some sections are very bland and dry and hold some interesting viewpoints on our early American history. Not a terrible book but read it in the morning so you don't fall asleep.

This book needs to be re-edited. There are so many misspellings of people's names. For example, Bob Dylan is "Boy Dylan" in this book. On the same page, it calls Alan Freed "Alan Fred." Also, there is sometimes misleading information. For example, the book paraphrased a passage from a book on William Randolph Hearst, but when I read that passage in the original source, it was saying something completely different. The book can be confusing and seems to expect you to have previous knowledge of the subject and, therefore, often doesn't fully explain concepts.

I don't remember reading this... I probably did... I guess its good

My school bookstore ran out of these books and I needed it in less than a week. It made it with days to spare and it was exactly as described.
