Summary:

An entertaining and informative romp through America’s history, without the boring bits.

For most people the details of the American Revolution, the history of Thanksgiving and the Battle of the Alamo are sketchy at best. However, help is at hand.

Remember the Alamo? contains all the American history you learnt at school and promptly forgot, and perhaps some things that you were never taught in the first place.

Broken down into easily digested bite-sized chunks, this book will teach you the basics of over 150 key events from Columbus to Nixon and from cowboys to cosmonauts.

This helpful guide assumes no other knowledge of world history and doesn't contain anything but the most salient points, so that anyone can become clued up on the history of one of the world's most developed nations.

Concise and informative, yet entertaining and engagingly written, Remember the Alamo? contains everything you will ever need to know about the United States.
