Customer Review: I was extremely disappointed in this book. I don't argue with the majority of what the author has to say, or most of his information, but it seems as if every other paragraph he's telling you why misinformation is a bad thing, how you've been duped, his opinion on why you've been duped, and what you... more info

And I wanted a way to "move around" within US Revolutionary War history quickly when I had questions about what was happening (or had or was going to happen). So regular history... more info
Customer Review: I just took the CLEP exam today and I scored a 47. You need 50 to pass so I obviously did not get that. I read through the material of this book twice and took both practice exams twice. I scored a 75 on both practice exams. The book fooled me into thinking I was ready. It just does not go into... more info
