Summary

American history is a living, breathing thing that is always evolving and growing, with new chapters taking shape as we speak.

Today, America is revered throughout the world as a global superpower, a model of democracy, and the kind of country that all nations should aspire to emulate. How did it get there? And how did it acquire this reputation?

Over the decades, millions of people have left their homelands to immigrate to America in search of the American dream. This is quite fitting given how the country came to be—thirteen misfit colonies that banded together to unite as one nation.

This audiobook delves into the most significant moments of America’s history, from the arrival of the first colonists all the way to the 21st century.

For those who are interested in learning about America, this is a great introductory audiobook. It should whet your appetite to learn more.

  • The French and Indian War, starring a young George Washington

  • The American Revolution and the causes behind it
