Format:Taschenbuch
The way you look at this book depends on whether or not you've read Gonick's " Cartoon History of the Universe " books. Those books were witty, informative, and well-illustrated. This book is semi-witty, semi-informative, and semi-well-illustrated. Great when combined with Hakim's books, but otherwise it gets kinda confusing. Pretty unorthodox, in good to bad ways.
Format:Taschenbuch
Is Gonick biased? Yes, every historian, actually every person on the planet has an opinion and that is called bias. Gonick is at least honest and makes it clear how he feels about things and that is a strength. To one who is solid in American History this book is a light look at one person's perspective on history without all the pretention of ivory tower academia. For a child or young student it is a good strategy to get him/her interested in American History, You can give them a more balanced view of History later, right now have fun and get them interested or they'll be idiots.
Format:Taschenbuch
Gonick as usual is a riot and I don't fault him for his bias. He puts it out there the way he sees it...any other way wouldn't be as funny. This is part fact, part satire. I still highly recommend this book to adults or teens who have a solid foundation in US History and have already formed an opinion on our leaders. Even if you don't agree, it's still funny.
I agree with the prior reviewer who recommended Hakim's 'History of US' for the kids. I know of two little girls (ages 8 and 9)who are reading through these in their spare time FOR FUN!

Find out how kooky Amerika's foundations are!
The bias is a nice and refreshing splash of cold water in the shorts. It's nice to know that all history texts on the U.S. Lesen Sie weiter...

Not as good as his other work, but still good.
Overtly sensitive Republicans might hate this book, but it is a good historical perspective on the contradictory entity that is the United States. Lesen Sie weiter...
