Escolhi essa classificação porque esse livro contém de forma concisa o relato de toda a História dos EUA desde sua descoberta até a atualidade, retratando as mudanças políticas, sociais, econômicas e culturais que o país experimentou. É um ótimo livro para quem precisa compreender a História desse país sob diversos aspectos. Indico para estudantes ou para aqueles que se interessam pela História desse país, pois o texto conciso e objetivo facilita a compreensão. Além disso, sua pequena dimensão permite carrega-lo para qualquer lugar.

Book was in excellent condition + a well-written history book. American history explained in only a few condensed places, But still written with a sense of making the book worth reading.

Es un buen libro pero si quereis aprender la historia de Estados Unidos mejor compraos otros que he visto muchos mejores, este pasa por encima de casi todo pero muy brevemente.
