Title: This book is lacking in many areas
Product review: I am a high school student who used Garraty's "The American Nation" as the primary textbook this year in my AP U.S. History class. I found this book to be dry and drawn out, and in addition, it did not seem to elaborate on some of the more intricate topics as much as it should have. I often needed to refer to many outside sources to educate myself on topics. The thing that bothered me the most was that its index was lacking and the book didn't even have a glossary-- some textbook this is! While Garraty managed to stick a few humorous and lively sentences into the text, my recommendation is that unless a teacher wants to put his class to sleep, use another book.
