U.S. History I (Cliffs Quick Review)

Very helpful

It’s a book; what’s to say?!?

well written

This was a great book for anyone that went through history class, got lost around 1812, came back for the Civil War and called it good. Both U.S. History I and U.S. History II are very thorough for how brief they are. Honestly, until I read these books I knew nothing about 'The Reconstruction'. Not a clue. Just missed that part of class I guess. These books are great for students that need them for class, or for parents that should know something when your kid comes home and asks you who James K. Polk was. Definitely recommend it.

Good study tool. Helped me to pass the US History CLEP exam

I bought this book to study for the US History 1 CLEP exam. I also used a much longer, standard history textbook, but this Cliffs Quick Review was really much easier to deal with, covering everything in a very succinct manner. I probably could have passed the test with just this book. It's only 187 pages long, so it's exactly what it claims to be, a review. (I got a 78 out of a possible 80 on the CLEP, so I'm happy!)

I think this is an awesome book. I am using this book, as the main source, with the CLEP US History I w/CD-ROM (REA).

This book, in conjunction with U.S. History II, helped me prepare for California's CSET in Social Sciences. It was easy to read, and gave me conficende to take the test, which I passed the first time around. I highly recommend!
