Negative Positive
Title: One short U.S. History course
Review: Ambrose, even though he has been accused of triumphalism with his writing, is still a kick A-- writer about the respectful, dedicated, and sometimes flawed people that have surrounded the history of this country - but especially surrounding war. I agree with another reviewer who said that you could read this in sections because of the organization. There is so much material in the book for any student of American History. I found the chapters on MacArthur, the Bomb, and Vietnam (Nixon) to be especially enlightening. I have to say that I think the best chapter is entitled "D-Day Revisited". If it doesn't make you weep, maybe you need to read it again. As a history teacher, I plan to read some of these chapters to my classes (if i don't make them get the book).
Is the review positive or negative?
