Disappointing July 8, 2008
This book is very detailed, and not in a good way. You lose the thread of the story for all of the tiny bits and pieces. It's also very bloody, disturbingly so. I got through the first third and couldn't finish it.

Absolutely Fabulous June 30, 2008
As a non-Amercan and having to teach American History to a group of international students, I found this book just what I needed to get them all interested. I learnt a lot and thouroughly enjoyed the read.

History's Hidden Secrets are not hidden anymore June 27, 2008

If you enjoy watching out-takes, and behind the scenes incidences of movies and television programs, this is definitely the book for you. Interestingly, the book portrays how many of our history making moments occurred if only by chance, and not without the many challenges that at times could have resulted in an unfavorable outcome. America's Hidden History as the name implies packed with little known facts that elucidate how certain events gradually served to make our country what it is today, is not only an engrossing narrative but also, a pictographic account of our nation's infancy.

Most historical accounts portray an epitome of perfection, every action carefully choreographed to reach the desired results. Not so says Kenneth C. Davis. Not only, do the readers discover the actual accuracy about the event, Mr. Davis also offers a provocative depiction of the idiosyncrasies behind the person responsible for that particular event.

A delightful read, not only was it informative, but a distinctly singular way to look at America's history, and the people behind it. George Washington, Paul Revere and Benedict Arnold emerged not just as historical figures, but also as human beings whose passion, patriotism and greed came to play an important role in the place they earned in history.
