About this listen

The United States is undergoing a period of intense political and social change. From the rise of the Tea Party to social media's effect on American life and politics, this new edition fills in the gaps of this Nation's story.

Award-winning political journalist and history writer Steve Wiegand guides you through the events that shaped our nation, from pre-Columbian civilizations to the 21st century. The explorers, the wars, the leaders, and the eras are all fully explored and explained, demonstrating how the past influences the future.

  • Explore the deepening divide between the very wealthy and the poor and middle class.
  • Get to know the deep and bitter divisions between political parties and even geographic regions of the country, including the 2016 election results.
  • Understand the country's delicate - and precarious - position as the world's preeminent economic, military, and political power.

U.S. History For Dummies, 4th Edition makes US history accessible for students and lifelong learners alike.

I like the fact that it is done in a manageable way is divided into year sections of around 30 to 40 years. it gives a basic overview of American history covering all the basic fact needed to understand the country. at just over 15 hours it get all the basic covered. I would recommend the book for anyone wanting a quick overview of the country and its history.

a great basic overview of the American history

As much as I dislike giving negative reviews, but I couldn’t continue past the halfway point, the narration drove me crazy. I’m convinced it was an A.I narrator, and it’s irrational use of the word “remember” at illogical points eventually lead me to switching off.

Couldn’t finish it!
