<p>Alan Brinkley’s American History: A Survery is the most widely used book for AP United States History in the country. A Colombia professor, Brinkley goes really in depth into all facets of US History. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of the American Pageant, but I’ll have to check it out. Most of my class got a 5 with Brinkley though…</p>
