This is the book I used to teach my three children U.S. History. Some colleges use this book I believe and several AP teachers I know use this book for their classes. There is a more recent printing available now but this is the one we have used and if I can save and still have a quality book, I'm going to do that. So we didn't order the most recent printing.
One of the things I liked about this is that the publisher offers support in the form of author videos that you can watch before each chapter. In the video the author talks about what you will be learning about in the upcoming chapter. If you want to sign up and pay for more access you can access quizzes etc
This book is very dense. It has a lot of information for a not very big book. It is an interesting read, I enjoyed reading it even though I have finished school many years ago.
I believe that if you read this book and then took the Clep exam or AP exam in U.S. History you would pass the exam and get the credit without taking the class.
