Story of the United States series.
This series focusing on pivotal periods in U.S. history is generally well organized, and the writing, though clunky, is accessible. Frequent photos, diagrams, and sidebars enhance the texts; writing prompts, primary source quotes, and "Stop and Think" questions contribute to the volumes' usefulness. Coverage of certain events is uneven (e.g., 1960s anti-war protests are glossed over). Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Story of the United States titles: World War I and Modern America, The Postwar Era, The United States Today, and The Rise of Industry.
