*Paul Johnson, ''A History of the American People''. (Harper Perennial, 1999). Oriented more toward social history more than the "great man" approach, this 1100-page text tells the story of the United States as much from the viewpoints of the everyday men and women who built the country as it does from the perspectives of generals and politicians. While the author's love of his subject--and country--is evident, this does not keep him from honestly and critically dealing with those moments in American history when the country's actions and policies did not match up with its visions of liberty and equality; moreover, he shows how the American people have typically worked to ensure that those visions ultimately triumph.

** I second the suggestion of Tindall and Shi. It is perhaps one of the most through and intelligently written US history texts. <-- This comment was made by someone, perhaps a liberal, who has since been blocked for insulting comments.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:01, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

*** I would advise you to actually pick up a copy of Tindall & Shi and read it. It devotes an entire chapter (twenty plus pages) to the Reagan years, which is far beyond comprable texts.

*American Pageant - One of the most popular AP US History textbooks. Unfortunately, liberal bias is evident in key events.
