This is not the be all end all book of American History. It is not an Encyclopedia of American History. This book is a good resource, a beginning, a place to find some information about American History.
This book was not meant to be a text book for home schoolers. It was not meant to be the final authority on American History. If you are using this book as the sole means of getting information about American History; you will be missing out. You need to supplement this book with others that are specific to the time you are learning about.
Other reviewers have noted what they consider to be faults. For example; they have mentioned the lack of in depth information on African Americans. There is a lack of in depth information on African Americans. There is a lack of in depth information on many topics and depending on your interests you might find information you would want in this book missing.
Based on the space available and the age this book was written for (Elementary to middle school ages), this book covered a lot of information very briefly. It covered a few things more completely and a few things less than completely.
Every author who writes a history book has a bias and that bias shows through often times to an extreme degree. I didn't find that this book demonstrated a bias to a large degree. In fact, I believe the author tried very hard to point out positives and negatives of every age and year and president.
That fact that other reviews have touted this book as too liberal or just right or conservative demonstrates that this book probably has hit the middle point between these views. I didn't see this book as very conservative nor as very liberal.
The pictures are gorgeous and there are many many pictures and drawings and sketches. They are all well done.
Enjoy.
