*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.

Some [[liberals]] like George Tindall and David Shi, ''America: A Narrative History''Seventh ed. New York: Norton, 2006, as a college-level text.
One of the best college level texts.

*Kaplan AP Study Guide (2008) - Only about one page devoted to [[Ronald Reagan]], who deserves 5-10 pages in any unbiased treatment of American history.  Also, this lacks an index (but does contain a glossary).--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:01, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
